European Youth For Action (EYFA)
Over European Youth For Action (EYFA):EYFA provides a platform and practical support for new radical ideas to grow into their full potential.
EYFA initiates projects and supports existing projects. We act through our wide and diverse network, focusing on a multitude of issues and don't stick to a single campaign.
EYFA supports grassroots groups, organizations, and campaigns that combat environmental degradation, xenophobia, homo- and queerphobia, racism, fascism and sexism, and all forms of exploitation and injustice. Also, grassroots groups, organizations, and campaigns that promote cultural and biological diversity, and the rights of women, LGBTIQ, indigenous, migrants, animals and workers.
By being flexible and always open for new ideas and issues, we can act directly on the needs expressed by our network: indicating what is felt lacking or what is urgent; proposing a project: understanding that many issues addressed are part of an international struggle; looking for the funding; and implementing the project in the hope to give the local, regional or transnational activities a welcome boost.
Long running projects generated by EYFA include Green Pepper magazine, promotion of sustainable transport through the Biketour (www.thebiketour.net), the annual sustainable-living Ecotopia gathering (www.ecotopiagathering.org), and the alternative currency system of Ecorates (www.eyfa.org/ecorates).
EYFA gives activists an international perspective, but it is very important to us that we keep our focus on the grassroots of social and ecological change.
