Activity Details (ID# 32131)

Title: 1st visit of team of the international review of the national youth policy of Belgium 
Description: In 1997, as a means to implement this objective, the CDEJ incorporated the review of national youth policies into its intergovernmental programme. To date, seventeen countries have undergone a review (Finland, The Netherlands, Sweden, Spain, Romania, Estonia, Luxemburg, Lithuania, Norway, Malta, Armenia, Slovakia, Cyprus, Hungary, Latvia, Moldova and Albania).

Furthermore, following a request from the Slovenian government to the Directorate of Youth and Sport, a group of experts went to Slovenia in 2002, to provide advice on the preparation of draft legislation on youth policy to be submitted to the Slovenian Parliament, with the intention to reproduce this work format if it proved successful. Other such “Youth policy advisory missions” have been organised (Bosnia-Herzegovina, Romania, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Moldova). This form of support to youth policy are directed to countries which are not yet prepared to go through the process of an international youth policy review but need advice or assistance in establishing or further developing specific aspects of their youth policy .

The Objectives of the process of international reviews of national youth policy are as follows:

a) to advise governments on key national youth policy issues as listed, for example under point 4 below;
b) to contribute to a learning process about the development and implementation of youth policy in Europe;
c) to identify components of youth policy which might inform an approach to “youth policy” across Europe
