Europe as a Resource for Local Youth Work
The seminar will focus on how European cooperation, policies, programmes, peer exchange, and funding opportunities can support quality youth work at local level.
Haridus- ja Noorteamet (the Estonian Education and Youth Board) is the organizing entity. The programme will help participants connect European resources with concrete local challenges and explore how municipalities, youth organisations, social institutions, and local authorities can use them in a practical and realistic way. The programme will move from a shared understanding of quality youth work, through the analysis of local barriers and needs, towards concrete follow-up commitments. Participants will work on identifying local challenges, connecting them to European youth work frameworks, especially the European Youth Work Agenda (EYWA) and the European Charter on Local Youth Work, as well as funding opportunities, and developing realistic first steps to take after the workshop.
