The United Nations General Assembly has proclamed 2010 as the International Year of Youth, starting from 12 August 2010, International Youth Day.
Many challenges await the European Youth Forum and young people in Europe in the year to come, including fighting youth unemployment, promoting youth participation and supporting the work of youth organisations in Europe. Many Governments committed themselves to the Year at the UN GA in New York, 2010 is here and we're really looking forward to what they want to achieve!
European Youth Forum will continue the efforts to have a Convention for the Rights of Young People in Europe within the Council of Europe and work in cooperation with the EU for a renewed European Youth Pact that will allow young to be empowered to take an active role in the recovering from the economic crisis, in line with the objectives of the post-2010 Lisbon framework.
In the occasion of the World Youth Conference set to take place in Mexico in August 2010, European Youth will reinforce its cooperation with other regional youth platforms, promoting a more sustainable and fair future for all.
Estonian National Youth Council (ENL) has celebrated International Youth Day already 7 years, which makes it a tradition for ENL that has been kept since establishing ENL.
