Policy paper on UN and global youth work development
The platform for National Youth Councils and International Non-Governmental Youth Organisations in Europe, the European Youth Forum (YFJ), is recognised internationally as the most developed and sustainable regional youth platform in the world. In this context, its responsibility for youth issues at the global level is consequently high and implies the need for an active involvement in regional and global cooperation processes.
By means of this Policy Paper, the YFJ is aiming to update the priorities, methodologies and goals of the Global Youth Work Development work area, and also to provide a basis for the position of the organisation towards the United Nations system and other relevant institutions in the field of youth. Thus, the paper seeks to set an encompassing policy framework for the global area of the YFJ.
