The Youth programme, including a European voluntary service scheme, gives young people from the age of 15 upwards the chance to broaden their horizons and develop their sense of initiative through projects at home or abroad. While it provides structured European cooperation between youth organisations, local authorities, project leaders and others professionally concerned. And, above all the programme provides opportunities for mobility and informal learning to young people themselves.
New emphasis is also being placed on youth policy, giving young people more of a say in the future of the EU and helping those facing difficulties to get a better start in life. The development of a White Paper on European Youth Policies is now in the making. The creation of this White Paper has been undertaken in close co-operation with European youngsters. The White Paper on European Youth Policies is foreseen to be adopted in autumn this year.
