Change powered by Youth

Empowering youth and strengthening youth work through a network of organisations across 22 countries.

Who we are

TDM 2000 International is a European NGO that connects 28 youth organisations in 22 countries. Since 2008, we have been working to promote active citizenship, youth empowerment, solidarity and cooperation.

We believe young people have the potential to lead change, and youth organisations help make that happen. That’s why we focus on empowering these organisations, actively engaging young people, and building stronger ties with local communities.

Our work

TDM 2000 International brings together young people, youth organisations, and institutions from across Europe to collaborate, learn, and make their voices heard. We focus on fostering youth dialogue, strengthening social cohesion, and supporting youth-led actions.

We support youth organisations with practical tools and opportunities—from training and capacity building to international collaboration. Through non-formal education and programmes like Erasmus+, we open spaces for young people to gain experience, build networks, and take an active role in shaping their communities and the world around them.

As an Associate Member of the European Youth Forum and a founding member of the Sardinian Committee of Organisations for International Mobility (C.A.S.M.I.), we contribute to the development of youth policy at both local and European levels.

I first got to know TDM 2000 International through an Erasmus+ project in Cagliari. Every time I returned, both I and my colleagues were warmly welcomed. Being involved in their diverse activities played a key role in my Erasmus journey, it helped me grow personally and professionally, connect with amazing people, and gain new knowledge and skills.

I first connected with TDM 2000 International during the International Summer Week in Cagliari, Italy, in 2024 — and it was a turning point. That week didn’t start my journey, but it reignited and strengthened my passion for Erasmus+ and non-formal education. The energy, the people, and the sense of purpose I felt there made me realise that this was exactly where I wanted to be. Today, I work full-time in the field of youth and mobility, and that experience still inspires me every day.
