The E-learning for Youth (ELFY) platform
The E-learning for Youth (ELFY) platform, based on a Moodle app, provides its users (participants, facilitators, and trainers) with a wide range of online courses and educational resources to serve the programmes and activities of the Council of Europe Youth Department and its partners.
It supports primarily facilitated hybrid learning activities which also include residential activities such as study sessions and training courses held at the European Youth Centres in Budapest and Strasbourg. Additionally, some e-learning self-facilitated courses and resources are also available.
The Youth Department
The Youth Department is part of the Directorate of Democratic Participation within the Directorate General of Democracy and Human Dignity (“DGII”) of the Council of Europe. The Department elaborates guidelines, programmes and legal instruments for the development of coherent and effective youth policies at local, national and European levels.
It provides funding and educational support for international youth activities aiming to promote youth citizenship, youth mobility and the values of human rights, democracy and cultural pluralism. It seeks to bring together and disseminate expertise and knowledge about the life situations, aspirations and ways of expression of young Europeans.
The Council of Europe
The Council of Europe (COE) is the continent’s leading human rights organisation. It includes 46 member states, 28 of which are members of the European Union. All Council of Europe member states have signed up to the European Convention on Human Rights, a treaty designed to protect human rights, democracy and the rule of law. The European Court of Human Rights oversees the implementation of the Convention in the member states.
