The majority of projects organised by DBYN are financially supported by the European Union.  These projects include youth exchanges, voluntary service, training courses and seminars.  These activities focus on themes important to the European Union: youth unemployment, reduction of early-school leaving and school drop-out, migration, anti-discrimination, social entrepreneurship, citizenship education, ... 

The international secretariat of Don Bosco Youth-Net ivzw is financially supported by the European Union, through its ‘Erasmus+ Youth in Action’-programme.  This programme supports youth projects and organisations involved in the field of non-formal education in Europe and the rest of the world.

Structural partnership

Since 2006 DBYN is receiving an administrative grant from the EU's Youth programmes.  Currently we are working under an operating grant under the KA3 - Civil Society Cooperation, for the period 2023-2025. We are proud to state that we are working 'with the support of the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union'.
