On 26th September 2022, many months of hard work paid off with the launch of the European Network of Youth Cancer Survivors in Barcelona! The network is led by survivors of childhood, adolescent and young adult cancer, ensuring that their voice will be heard across Europe.

The EU-funded project “EU-CAYAS-NET” aims at developing a “European Network of Youth Cancer Survivors” alongside an interactive virtual platform (launching in December 2022). The network will foster social networking, peer-support, knowledge-exchange, and aims at improving:

  • the quality of life of survivors (including mental health, education & career support, follow-up care and transition),
  • the care for adolescents and young adults (AYA) with cancer, and
  • Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) along the whole treatment and survivorship trajectory.

The activities of the project include peer visits, meetings, training, virtual co-working, social media campaigns, webinars, policy recommendations and national and international events.

Pintail is delighted to be supporting Childhood Cancer International Europe in their role as Coordinator, in collaboration with Youth Cancer Europe.

 

Duration: Sept 2022 – Aug 2024
