GENERAL INFORMATION:
The YOUTH programme is the EU’s mobility and
non-formal education programme targeting young
people aged between 15 and 25 years.
The Programme is open to youth in 30 European
countries. The YOUTH programme offers possibilities
to young people in the form of both
group exchanges
and
individual voluntary work, as well as support
activities. The YOUTH programme started in spring
2000 but incorporates, and is based on, the
experiences faced by the former Youth for Europe and
European Voluntary Service programmes. There are
National Agencies for the YOUTH programme
established in all 30 Programme Countries. The
Agencies assist with the promotion and
implementation of the Programme at national
level.Furthermore, the Euro-Med Youth programme II,
involving 27 Euro-Mediterranean partner countries,
is one of the YOUTH programme’s main activities.
National Coordinators based in the 12 Mediterranean
partner countries facilitate the implementation of
this Programme. The YOUTH programme also supports
co-operation activities with other third countries
in South East Europe (SEE), the Commonwealth of
Independent States (CIS) and Latin America (LA).
The Commission has created eight Resource centres
within the YOUTH National Agencies. These Resource
centres are called
SALTO-YOUTH, and their role is to
provide different kinds of resource and support to
improve the quality of
YOUTH projects in priority
areas. The SALTO-YOUTH Resource centres provides
training courses, training tools, information on
good practices, networks and partnerships
development, partner finding etc. They work in close
cooperation with the National Agencies and the
National Coordinators to reach the users of the
YOUTH programme.
