About JOIN

JOIN is a transnational network of young women for a just and social ecological transition. A space to devise, innovate and promote initiatives that build solutions to the socio-environmental challenges our society is facing, and that lead us towards more inclusive, just, egalitarian and sustainable stages.

Join´s Objective

To create an urban-rural ecosystem that makes it possible, on the basis of relations between young people, to bring together different approaches, outlooks and realities.

Why JOIN is necessary?

Inequalities affecting young women pose a serious political, social and economic risk: generational, territorial and educational divides lead to exclusion. JOIN follows the principles of the European Pillar of Social Rights as a guide towards a strong, fair, inclusive and opportunity-filled social Europe.
