Summary link to Recognition:
The EU Youth Strategy is an important part of European level recognition of youth work. It provides a strong structure for youth work and is based on the work of young people. During the 6th cycle of the EU Youth Dialogue; “Youth in Europe: What’s next?” 2017 to 2018, young people were called to gather their voices and contribute to create the EU Youth Strategy 2019 – 2027 to serve the EU youth programmes. The direct work of these young people became the European Youth Goals, but they are also credited with directing and influencing the Council Resolution 2018/C 456/01 which in turn became the EU Youth Strategy 2019-2027.
The European Youth Portal provides easily accessible information on what the EU Youth Strategy is by breaking it down into its component parts, the three core areas of action, around the three words: Engage, Connect, Empower and the Youth Goals. In the overview it explains that the EU Youth Strategy is the framework for EU youth policy cooperation for 2019-2027. The aims of the strategy are to encourage youth participation in democratic life by supporting social and civic engagement. The main intention is to ensure that all young people have the necessary resources to take part in society.
