The European Knowledge Centre for Youth Policy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The European Knowledge Centre for Youth Policy is a youth research partnership activity between the Council of Europe and the European Commission.
It is a knowledge management system that provides youth policy makers with a single entry point to retrieve research-based information on the realities of youth across Europe. It is a tool for the implementation of the White Paper on Youth and, in particular, the European Commission 'Common Objectives on a Better Understanding of Youth' and the Council of Europe monitoring of youth policy. It will track the implementation of 'Common Objectives on Participation, Information, Voluntary Activities and a Better Understanding of Youth'.
Youth Debate is a pilot site of the European Knowledge Centre for Youth Policy. It allows anyone interested in the topic of youth to enter into debate about the issues they are passionate about. Participants are invited to upload articles, short pieces, or thoughts on any topic relevant to the world of youth. It is also possible to post a comment in reaction to others' entries. Youth Debate will also highlight specific themes of particular relevance to the European youth field. The site is open to everyone.
