🐸 Not sure what to do on 1 July? Join us for the KVAK webinar!

We are inviting all youth workers, debate coaches and judges, teachers, and anyone working in youth work to join us on 1 July to explore the KVAK platform!

Providing proper, safe, and constructive feedback in youth work is difficult. It requires experience, training, and the right tools.
That's what we set out to address with the Erasmus+ project KVAK. Which aims to standardise youth work practices, facilitate the education of youth workers, and tackle three key development priorities (quality youth work, digital transformation, and inclusivity and diversity).

Come see it in action!

📅 1 July 2026 | 18:00–19:30 CET | Online (Zoom)

Help our member organisation Joint Debate Society from South Sudan participate at the World Schools Debating Championship for the first time!
JDS and WSDC Team South Sudan have launched a fundraising campaign to make this possible and IDEA is proud to support them. We encourage the debate community to donate and help South Sudan reach their goal.
JDS has already secured partial scholarship support, but still needs help covering the remaining costs.
WSDC has never been closer to them; let's help get them there.
Read more about JDS and their fascinating story and support their national team on the link below.
