Summary link to Recognition:
This publication aims to bring the Recommendation on youth work closer to its potential users: policy makers, youth workers, managers of youth work activities, youth leaders, educators of youth workers, youth organisations, in fact to all those who can, in different capacities, contribute to the development of youth work in Europe. The publication explains the different sections of the recommendation, particularly the actions and measures that member states should implement to support youth work and so develop its promotion and recognition. It gives examples of how youth work has developed in different contexts across Europe. It also asks questions and gives tips that should guide action for improving youth work.
This Recommendation was the first recommendation from the Committee of Ministers that was about just youth work as youth work. The many previous recommendations connected to youth work have been about an aspect of youth work; inclusion, rights, employment and so on.
