APV of HEARTS in Leiden
yEUth is very happy to have implemented the APV meeting of our first KA1 Erasmus+ project in Leiden, along with our partners from Greece, Germany, Italy and Cyprus. The APV for our approved youth exchange project "HEARTS" was held with great success and we want to thank all the partners (EKO Greece, NGO NEST Berlin, Associazione Viaggi Senza Frontiere Onlus, YEU Cyprus) for their contribution and collaboration till now. We are very excited and cannot wait for the main mobility to be implemented in Athens next March.
During APV we discussed all important subjects and issues related to the main mobility, the assignements each partner has to do and we also signed the Partnership Agreement. One representative from each organization was present, though from Cyprus the participant attended the 2-days meeting online. All partners agreed upon the new future date of the youth exchange, as the situation with COVID-19 seems to rise again and a second wave with new restrictions and lockdowns is coming.

Eurovision Song Contest (ESC2021): Open Up!
The Eurovision Song Contest 2021 is set to be the 65th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. The contest will be held in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, following Duncan Laurence's win at the 2019 contest in Tel Aviv, Israel with the song "Arcade". The Netherlands was due to host the 2020 contest, before it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe. It will be the fifth time that the Netherlands hosts the contest, the last time having been the 1980 contest.
​
Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcasters AVROTROS, Nederlandse Publieke Omroep (NPO) and Nederlandse Omroep Stichting (NOS), the contest will be held at Rotterdam Ahoy and will consist of two semi-finals on 18 and 20 May, and the final on 22 May 2021. The EBU discussed carryovers between the 2020 and 2021 contests, and several participating countries allocated the same artists who were due to represent them in 2020.
​
39 countries will participate in the contest; not the exact same line-up of countries that would have competed in 2020. Bulgaria and Ukraine will return after their absences from the 2019 contest, while Hungary and Montenegro confirmed their non-participation. Armenia along with Belarus were unfortunately withdrawn from this year's contest.
