Strasbourg, 3rd February 2012

Call for proposals : Y-E-N Website

YOUTH EXPRESS NETWORK is an International Non Governmental Organisation legally registred in STRASBOURG, France since 1993. We are a network of social and youth structures working at local, regional and international levels with young people with fewer opportunities. We organise training courses, seminars and study sessions for youth and social workers. Since 2008 Y-E-N has a website/blog (www.y-yen.net) which is not anymore adapted to the needs of the network in terms of communication. Thus, a new communication strategy was designed and the implementation of a real website is one of its main points. Y-E-N wants to improve its communication with young people with fewer opportunities, Y-E-N members, Y-E-N partners, financers (funders), potential NGOs, volunteers willing to know more about youth work, youth workers, experts and Media. Thats also why a new website is needed! It should be very visual (more images than texte), simple, friendly, dynamic and informative (please find below the foreseen structure).

Launched Questions: What do we want from the Website? What kind of information we want to spread/give? Who we want to achieve? How do we want to see it?
