Subtitle: Country Fact Sheets
Author: 3rd European Youth Work Convention
Date: 2020
Summary link to Recognition:
The country fact sheets were developed for the 3rd European Youth Work Convention (December 2020). This event played a key role in launching the implementation of the European Youth Work Agenda as a strategic framework for further developing and strengthening youth work practice and policies in Europe. Both the Convention and the Agenda contribute hugely to the recognition of youth work at the European, national and local levels. The country fact sheets provide basic information about the perspective on youth work developments in a specific country. The country factsheets include information on whether youth work is a recognised occupation, to what extent there is a legislative framework for youth work, who the main youth work actors are, highlights youth work developments that have taken place, the strengths, successes and challenges being faced in that country, what support is needed and where development needs to happen.
