Project Summary

The project aims to promote quality, innovation and recognition of youth work through the platform and outputs, as this is an overarching theme and strategic objective of the 2019-2027 Youth Goals. Increasing and maintaining the quality of Youth work across Europe is key to achieving the Youth Goals, and this can be done by ensuring youth organisations and youth workers are able to learn from each other by recognising and sharing good practices of other European youth projects, increasing the quality of youth work, the skills, competences and understanding of youth workers and in turn, facilitating high quality opportunities and support for the youths engaged with them.

To address these priorities, the project will strengthen and support the mandate of the EU Youth Coordinator (to ensure that youth issues are mainstreamed and well connected with all policy areas of the EU that affect young people) through the use of an innovative tool (within the YI+ digital platform), which will increase transnational collaboration between youth organisations, promote “sister project” collaboration, engagement and sharing of lessons learned. The project will support and facilitate the dissemination of project results, outcomes and the impacts of European funded youth projects by connecting the youth work sector, to achieve the objective of mainstreaming youth lead initiatives.

We have selected the above priorities, to ensure the project is aligned with several of the 2019-2027 Youth Goals, which also shaped the project’s objectives.

1. Enhance recognition of Youth Work through European funded programmes across Europe at national and EU level
2. Improve sectoral cooperation, including through the EU Youth Coordinator’s mandate, to give youth a voice in shaping EU policies
3. Support the capacity building of youth workers and youth work practices
4. Reinforce links between policy, research and practice and promote better knowledge about the situation of young people and youth policies
