At the European level the network is coordinated by Eurodesk Brussels Link, located in Brussels.

National coordinators are responsible for the Eurodesk operation. In Finland, the Eurodesk coordination is located at the Finnish National Agency for Education. National Eurodesks have differences, depending on the country's situation and needs. 

Eurodesks main target in Finland is informing the youth and giving guidance by the suitable professionals. Eurodesk will offer them knowledge, guidance, training and tools about international possibilities to share to the youth. Thematically Finland's Eurodesk is focused on youth internationalization outside schools, on their free-time, hobbies and organizational activities. 

At the Finnish National Agency for Education, Eurodesk is located at international services of the youth, culture and sports. Finland's Eurodesk activity is funded by the Ministry of Education and Culture, and the European Commission as part of the Erasmus+-.  

Eurodesk's services for advisory and guidance professionals are:

• European network
• knowledge and guidance
• trainings
• tools
• materials and methods.

Advisory and guidance professionals are the most important partner for Eurodesk in the youth's free-time, hobbies and organizational activities. Professionals are also the best way for Eurodesk to contact the youth all over the country. We especially aim to reach those young people that don't actively apply for international activities, but will need professional support and guidance for that.

Our services are open to all advisory and guidance professionals. Eurodesk as a spokesperson can participate for example as:

• advisory and guidance counselling for youth
• local youth services
• youth centres
• organization
• Ohjaamo.fi
• labour offices
• guidance counsellor.
