Recognition resources
In this section, you will find publications, web resources and events all connected directly or indirectly to the recognition of youth work. The list is not seen as being complete and it is acknowledged that the reader will see some as not relevant and would like to see others included. It is intended that this resources page should be updated regularly. The section paints a large picture of the recognition work that has and is being conducted across Europe.
Each resource is hyperlinked through its title and comes with a short summary. It is recommended that you use the tags to search for a particular theme or topic rather than scrolling through the long list of documents.

Summary link to Recognition:
The European Youth Portal offers European and country level information about opportunities and initiatives that are of interest to young people who are living, learning and working in Europe. It addresses young people directly, but also other stakeholders working in the field of youth (youth organisations, youth workers, policy makers, etc.).
There are four content areas each grouped in a specific section:
Thematic pages related to EU youth policies: “Get involved”
In the this section there are articles about active citizenship from different perspectives
Thematic pages related to opportunities to go abroad: “Go abroad”
EU-funded programme/initiative pages: “EU initiatives”
Policy pages: “EU Youth Strategy”
There is also a section of stories and testimonials by young people, a news page and a space where events are promoted. Recognition does not feature as a specific topic or field throughout the Youth Portal, however, the Youth Portal itself is a crucial resource for exploring and understanding youth work at the European level.
