In uncertain times, STEAM and digital youth work are more important than ever.

Hello John,

If anything has become clear in these uncertain times, it's the importance of investing in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Maths) and digital youth work.

With that in mind, we're looking to the future with some exciting opportunities (and grants of €5,000 ([link removed][UNIQID]) ) to help you
respond to challenges you are facing engaging young people due to Covid-19.
