Azerbaijan is a country with the youngest population in EECA region. Median age of the population is 28! Maybe this is why people there are so open minded and interested in international youth cooperation? Let's discover it together! :-)
The Study Visit is co-organised by the Ministry of Youth and Sport of Republic of Azerbaijan and the SALTO Eastern Europe and Caucasus Resource Centre. We are happy to emphasize that the partnership between SALTO EECA and the Ministry has started in 2007, when the Study Visit "Youth work reality in Caucasus countries" took place. Afterwards the representative of the Ministry took part in the Study Visit "Youth work reality in Austria and Belgium" and now the next stage of our cooperation is starting!
