The network is also providing a platform for animator exchanges between countries during the summer, called "Summer Exchange of Animators"^[4]. The youth organisations can publish opportunities available in their local youth centres and interested young people can apply.

General Executive Body (all member organisations)
Administrative Board
President

Member organisations[edit]
