Yourtranslator represented at CELAC-EU Youth Days: Decent Employment by Aliki Anagnosti

Yourtranslator had the honour to participate in the CELAC-EU Youth Days: Decent Employment event, taking place on 9-11 April 2015 in the capital of Ecuador, Quito.

The event was organized by the EU-LAC Foundation with the sponsorship of the Government of Ecuador as Pro-Tempore Presidency of the CELAC, and the support of the European Youth Forum, the Latin American and Caribbean Youth Forum and the International Labour Organization (ILO).

The participants were 40 youth delegates from Latin America, the Caribbean and the European Union, representing a number of sectors ranging from employers, employees, entrepreneurs, government, social movements, policy-makers and academia, all brought together to talk about the challenges of youth employment. The purpose of the meeting was the drafting of a common proposal with concrete solutions demanding decent and quality employment for youth. The outcome of the Youth Days will be presented as input for the next EU-CELAC Summit of Heads of State and Government that will take place in Brussels in June 2015.

Greece was represented at the meeting by Aliki Anagnosti, Co-founder of Yourtranslator.
