  • "History of Youth Work in Europe", Volume 7
    Youth Knowledge # 25 THE HISTORY OF YOUTH WORK IN EUROPE Why have political, social or environmental causes often been behind the origin and evolution of youth organisations? Have other ideas been influential too? Why have some organisations expanded well beyond their countries of origin? To what extent have they held firm to their original 7 Volume – history in Europe The work of youth values and purpose, and to what extent have they adapted and evolved in changing circumstances? How have they related to youth policy or youth work agendas? How vulnerable have they been to ideology, context or political influences? Which of their characteristics have persisted over time? These are some of the questions that are explored in this book, which draws on contributions from the last seminar on the history of transnational youth organisations and their relation to youth work today. This book has three parts. The first explores the evolution of transnational youth organisations and movements over the past 100 years. The second adds two more country histories of youth work to the body of knowledge already established in earlier volumes in the series. The third and final part focuses on 12 “trilemmas” and reflections that have emerged from the 10-year History of Youth Work in Europe project. This anchors an invitation to the youth work community to consider and debate each trilemma, independently and in relation to each other, in the context of both the local environments of youth work delivery and across the wider European youth policy context, in anticipation of the 3rd European Youth Work Convention.

  • Advocacy Statement
    Advocacy Statement The “YOUTH IN ACTION” programme will follow the current EU Youth Programme which ends in 2006. The new programme to receive funding will run from 2007 to 2013. The importance and effect of the “YOUTH IN ACTION” programme is currently being jeopardized by the cuts to the overall EU budget for the period of 2007-2013. Supported by the European Parliament report from October 2005, organisations active in the youth field and young people across Europe, we urge national governments and MEPs to seriously consider the impact of the budget cut to the Youth programme. Such a decrease to the budget will not allow maintaining all foreseen actions and their quality. Therefore, we strongly demand to maintain the Youth budget at a level, at which the previous standards of the actions can be continued, supplementing with innovative elements, offering more possibilities to more beneficiaries of the programme. We believe that the objectives of the programme cannot be achieved under 915 million EUR. However we endorse and support the proposal of the European Parliament to allocate 1,128 billion EUR to the “YOUTH IN ACTION” programme. The “YOUTH IN ACTION” contributes to the future of Europe by investing in young people, by enhancing the mobility of young people thus strengthening cohesion and contributing to the overall objectives of the European Union. 1 The general aims of the new “YOUTH IN ACTION” programme are to promote the active citizenship of young people in general and their European awareness in particular, to develop solidarity among young people in order to strengthen the EU’s social cohesion and to encourage European cooperation in the field of youth policy.
