Annual Overview "Eurodesk 2013 - a snapshot of action and good practice"

The report highlights the different activities carried out by the Eurodesk network in

2013. The network has been particularly active in delivering information on

European opportunities for young people while promoting youth mobility, together

with information multipliers, via events, online resources and publications.

EP Survey: European youth in 2014

On the eve of the 2014 European Elections, the European Parliament has conducted

a survey among young Europeans aged 16-30 in the 28 EU Member States: 70% of

young people find that EU membership represents an advantage in a globalised

world. The survey will serve as a source of facts and figures for the 5,000 young

people meeting in Strasbourg on 9-11 May at the European Youth Event, as it

addresses the event’s five main themes: youth unemployment, digital revolution,

future of the EU, sustainability and European values.

A Record of Achievements - A United, Open and Stronger Europe

What has the European Commission done for you in the last five years? The answer

to this question can be found on a new European Commission online booklet. The

publication gives a snapshot of some of the main achievements of the current

mandate delivered to citizens and businesses across Europe over the last five

years.

Youth Organisations and the Youth Guarantee in Europe

Launched by the European Youth Forum, the publication finds that, whilst the youth

guarantee provides an unprecedented opportunity to address youth unemployment

across Europe in a coordinated and comprehensive manner, the youth sector feels

that so far the youth guarantee has not lived up to its potential due to a lack of

financial investment and, in certain cases, a lack of political ambition. Furthermore,

it finds that, as has happened in many Member States, a re-packaging of current,

failed systems to tackle youth unemployment is not enough. A major commitment

from businesses, the youth sector, civil society organisations, public employment

services, local authorities as well as national and European-level decision makers is

needed in order for the youth guarantee to be a success and to tackle the gravely

high youth unemployment rate across the continent (which currently stands at

23.5%). The publication includes detailed analysis of the development and

implementation of the youth guarantee in ten Member States, according to the

Youth Forum’s member organisations in those countries.

It is aimed at both youth organisations and policy-makers to outline the role of the

youth sector in the design and implementation of the youth guarantee.

Youth unemployment in the EU28

regions in 2013

In 2013, the average unemployment

rate for young people aged between

15 and 24 in the EU28 was 23.4%.

Regional differences in the

unemployment rate for young

bingen (both 4.4%) and

Freiburg (4.7%), and the highest in

Ceuta (72.7%) in Spain and Dytiki

Makedonia (70.6%) and Ipeiros

(67.0%) in Greece. In more than

three quarters of the EU28 regions,

the unemployment rate for young

people was at least twice that for total

unemployment. These data on

regional unemployment, compiled on

the basis of the EU Labour Force

Survey, are published by Eurostat, the

of Europe sign a new youth

partnership for the period 2014-

2016

On 7th April 2014 the 2014-2016

Framework Partnership Agreement in

the field of youth was signed by the

Deputy Secretary General of the

Council of Europe, Ms Gabriella

Battaini-Dragoni and the Director for

Youth and Sport Erasmus+ of the DG

ECA, European Commission, Ms

Chiara Gariazzo. The agreement

renews the partnership, which started

in 1998, aimed at creating synergy

between the two partner institutions

in the youth field. In 2014-2016 the

three specific themes of the EU-CoE

youth partnership are:

participation/citizenship; social

inclusion with the focus on outreach,

access to social rights and fighting

new forms of xenophobia and

discrimination; and recognition and

quality of youth work. The new

partnership aims to improve the

knowledge on youth and contribute to

the development of youth work and

the promotion of its quality and

recognition. Activities of the EU-CoE

youth partnership will target decision

makers, governmental experts, youth

researchers, youth practitioners and

youth organisations for the benefit of

young people in Europe. They will be

organised all over Europe and the

South Mediterranean.

#ConnectedContinent

On 3rd April MEPs voted positively on

the #ConnectedContinent, the

European Commission’s proposal

regulation aimed at eliminating

roaming charges, introducing net

neutrality, and taking other steps to

build a telecoms single market in

Europe. In a recent survey conducted

by ThinkYoung (a think tank on

youth), young Europeans from 18 to

34 year old asked to end

"unbelievable" roaming prices and

"unfair" restrictions on what they can

and can't access online from their

mobile devices. Responses were

gathered from over 1,000 EU citizens

via social media and in person

between 9th October and 10th

November 2013. According to the

survey, a majority of young

Europeans would increase their mobile

usage if roaming fees disappeared

and 79% of them are in favour of

strengthening the EU's regulatory

powers in order to guarantee fair

prices and to harmonise the internal

market.
