Today, the EU Youth Conference on youth employment and social inclusion, organised under the Spanish Presidency, started and will last till 15th of April in Jerez, Spain. The aim of the conference is mainly to contribute to the process of the Structured Dialogue on youth. More specifically, the information from National consultations will be discussed and used in an attempt to define the priorities and objectives of policies to improve employment conditions and access to the labour market for young Europeans.
In November 2009, the Resolution on the renewed framework for the European cooperation in the youth field was approved by the Council of Ministers. Among its guiding principles was the need for a continuous structured dialogue with young people and youth organisations.
The EU Youth Conferences play a key role in this process, and it was decided by the European Steering Committee that youth employment would be the common theme of the three EU Youth Conferences of the current trio presidency. After the Spanish conference, the Belgian conference will deal with the measures and instruments used. The Hungarian conference will finalise the actions and conclude the process.
From Estonian National Youth Council Chairman Ott Heidmets, Executive Director Anni Kuller and Youth Policy Officer Martti Martinson are participating.
