Eastern Europe and Caucasus
The Partnership organised a workshop on the development of youth policy in Eastern Europe and the Caucasus in the European Youth Centre in Budapest 18-19 June 2008 with the support of the SALTO Eastern Europe and Caucasus Resource Centre. The event brought together 17 participants, most of whom came from the countries in the region. A majority came from the non-governmental youth sector, but the were also government representatives and researchers in the youth field attending the seminar.
The objective of the workshop was to promote youth policy development through the advancement of a regional dialogue in the countries of Eastern Europe and the Caucasus and the sharing of information.
The presentation of reports by participants on the situation of youth policy in their respective countries was given ample time at the workshop. Gradually, the seminar then started focusing on identifying concrete challenges and major needs for further progress in youth policy development, and how regional cooperation can be a valuable tool to overcome barriers to improve the situation of young people in these countries.
The seminar resulted in a number of concrete proposals for follow-up and future concrete action in order to improve the development of youth policy in the region of Eastern Europe and the Caucasus.
