Sardinia has become the latest region to join the AER and Eurodyssey network. Francesco Pigliaru, President of Sardinia, welcomed Mathieu Mori, AER Secretary General and Esther Estany Campos, Eurodyssey President, to the official signing ceremony in Cagliari on Thursday 20 July.

Sardinia becomes the 7th Italian region to join the AER and the 4th to join Eurodyssey.

The first AER activity for Sardinia will be the implementation of the Eurodyssey programme; due to be operational in January 2019 with fifteen young Sardinians benefitting from the AER Young Professional Mobility programme.

ASPAL, the Sardinia agency for active labour policies and its Managing Director, Massimo Temussi, have been key in making this new partnership a reality.

Of the mobility programmes already in place for young people, Eurodyssey aims to target a more diverse group who will be accompanied and looked after from day one until the end of their traineeship.

We welcome Sardinia as a new member; wish them lots of success in the Eurodyssey programme and look forward to their further involvement in other activities and programmes of AER.
