Activities
From 2026 to 2028, our Youth Work Pillar will strengthen the European youth work community by deepening policy alignment, enhancing professional practice, and reinforcing the core identity of youth work. Building on the conclusions of the 4th European Youth Work Convention and its roadmap, the Youth Partnership will support both the strategic development of youth work systems and the everyday realities of youth work practice.
We’ll turn the Convention’s key conclusions into tangible progress by focusing on its three core pillars:
Developing and co-ordinating youth work systems at European and national levels.
