Youth in Action programme
Youth in Action is the successor of the YOUTH Programme (2000-2006). Youth in Action is the EU Programme for young people aged 15-28 (in some cases 13-30). It aims to inspire a sense of active citizenship, solidarity and tolerance among young Europeans and to involve them in shaping the Union's future. It promotes mobility within and beyond the EU borders, non-formal learning and intercultural dialogue, and encourages the inclusion of all young people, regardless of their educational, social and cultural background.
the Programme is structured around 5 Actions:
Action 1 - Youth for Europe
encourages young people's active citizenship, participation and creativity through youth exchanges, youth initiatives and youth democracy projects.
Action 2 - European Voluntary Service
helps young people to develop their sense of solidarity by participating, either individually or in group, in non-profit, unpaid voluntary activities abroad.
Action 3 - Youth in the World
promotes partnerships and exchanges among young people and youth organisations across the world.
Action 4 - Youth Support Systems
includes various measures to support youth workers and youth organisations and improve the quality of their activities.
Action 5 - Support for European Co-operation in the Youth field
supports youth policy co-operation at European level, in particular by facilitating dialogue between young people and policy makers.
