Description

Within the EU’s “Union of Skills” ambition, there is a growing need to strengthen not only technical and digital skills, but also the transversal competencies that support a resilient, democratic, and prepared society. Rooted in participation, empowerment, and social inclusion, youth work plays a key role in equipping young people with the skills and attitudes needed to engage meaningfully in society, especially during times of crisis and change.
