Is EUFED only working with the European Union?
No. EUFED is co-operating with the various political bodies of the European Union, but also with the Council of Europe, other European intergovernmental institutions and a wide variety of European non-governmental organisations working in related areas (youth, tourism, environment). Full membership in EUFED, however, is restricted to Youth Hostel Associations active in member states of the European Union. Youth hostel bodies in applicant (“candidate”) states are invited to join as observers, with the perspective of becoming full members as soon as the country becomes a member of the Union.
