On 20 March , Interreg Volunteer Youth (IVY) proudly marks its 8th anniversary!
Since its launch, IVY has empowered over 1000 volunteers in 25 of the 97 eligible countries, fostering collaboration and strengthening the visibility of European Territorial Cooperation. Together, IVY volunteers have contributed to:
- 11 Stories of European Cooperation
- 50 Citizens’ Engagement Activities to promote Cohesion Policy
- Over 50 Interreg programmes hosted a volunteer (including 1 Macro-Regional Strategy)
- Around 400 Interreg projects hosted a volunteer
- A growing network of +50 IVY Alumni
This milestone is a testament to the power of joint actions in building a more connected and resilient Europe.
To showcase the impact of IVY in a dynamic way, we’re excited to introduce an interactive map—a space where current and former volunteers can find themselves, explore others’ contributions, and strengthen connections within the IVY community.
A heartfelt thank you to all volunteers, mentors, colleagues, and staff members who have made IVY such a success. Your dedication and commitment continue to shape the future of European cooperation.
