Objectives
A lot has been achieved so far in the development of youth work. However, continuous needs and new challenges are also still identified. This called for establishing a strategic framework for strengthening and further developing youth work practice and policies in Europe – the European Youth Work Agenda. This is done by
- implementing the European Youth Work Agenda in the Bonn Process as a strategic framework for the development of youth work in Europe,
- establishing youth work as an essential part of youth policies,
- ensuring and expanding the provision of youth work,
- strengthening the common ground of youth work through co-operation between and beyond the youth work community of practice,
- supporting the further development of quality youth work,
- supporting the ability of youth work to tackle emerging challenges and innovate its practices,
- enhancing the promotion and recognition of youth work,
- and ensuring a strong role for youth work in the new normal.
