The IVY Alumni Network is an informal community of current and former volunteers who have participated in the Interreg Volunteer Youth programme. United by a shared passion for Territorial Cooperation and Cohesion Policy, the IVY Alumni continue their engagement beyond the IVY experience, actively promoting Interreg and Cohesion Policy among peers and fostering youth participation in cooperation. Since its launch in July 2024, the network has grown to include around 30 members.
The IVY Alumni Network is now delighted to announce the launch of a Logo Design Contest, offering creative individuals the chance to contribute to the visual identity of the community.
The contest will run from 31 January 2025 to 31 March 2025.
