4th European Youth Work Convention

The government of Malta - Aġenzija Żgħażagħ (Malta's national youth agency) and the European Union Program Agency (EUPA) for Malta  together with the EU-Council of Europe Youth Partnership, will host the 4th European Youth Work Convention (EYWC) in Valletta, Malta, from 27 to 30 May 2025, under the Maltese Chairpersonship of the Council of Europe. 

European Youth Work Conventions have been a regular and significant forum (held every five years since 2010) with the aim of strengthening youth work development and identifying directions to further support the youth work to strengthen its role in rejuvenating and acting on democracy.

Under the theme ‘Youth Work Xcelerate,’ this edition will highlight youth work as a powerful tool for empowering young people, fostering inclusion, and encouraging active participation. It will also establish a European Roadmap to enhance the effectiveness of youth work and ensure its sustainability through national and European policies.
