Youth
The fifth indent of Article 149(2)
of the Treaty establishing the European Community
(ECT) states that Community action is aimed at "encouraging
the development of youth exchanges and exchanges of
socio-educational instructors".
Responsibility for youth affairs rests
with the Member States, and action by the Union is
essentially initiated by the Council, primarily through
recommendations and programmes designed to develop
cooperation and mobility at Union level. Such action
is guided by the open method of coordination.
The 2001 White Paper on a new impetus
for European youth marked a new stage in Union action.
It essentially proposed that cooperation between Member
States should be enhanced and that more account should
be taken of the youth dimension in sectoral policies.
Following up the White Paper, the European Youth Pact
adopted in March 2005 identifies the fields in which
consolidation is required, also with a view to achieving
the Lisbon strategy objectives and strengthening education
and training. The Pact puts the emphasis on improving
the education, training, mobility, vocational integration
and social inclusion of young Europeans, while helping
to reconcile work and family life.
Going beyond this general framework
for action, the Union is able to call on specific
instruments to promote cooperation, thanks to the
“Youth in Action” programme for the period
2007-13. This programme is designed to encourage young
people, especially the most disadvantaged and the
disabled, to participate in public life, and also
to promote their sense of initiative, entrepreneurial
spirit and creativity. In this way it boosts
the mobility of disadvantaged young people in an informal
education setting, and also, through the European
Voluntary Service (EVS), fosters involvement in projects
within associations and local communities, both in
Europe and in developing countries, thus promoting
mutual understanding.
