The Eurodyssey programme, which aims at improving young peoples’ chances to integrate into the labour market, was opened to the regions of central and eastern Europe in 1997 and, this AER programme, will continue to develop in 1998. Its objectives are to increase the number of participating regions (contacts already made in the United States of America and Canada) and placements, to propose new professional fields and to ensure a wider diffusion of information, especially through multimedia technology. Young people from 18 to 30 years old – either unemployed or graduates looking for a first professional experience – can already discover Eurodyssey through a CD- ROM (available from the AER General Secretariat) or on the Internet sites of the participating regions. Soon they will also be able to obtain the application dossier through the Internet.
