Taking the future into their own hands
The important role of youth work in promoting entrepreneurial skills is highlighted in a new report by the European Commission.
The European Union promotes entrepreneurial competences among young people as an important pathway to work. The role of youth work in fostering entrepreneurial learning, however, has been underexposed - until now!
Taking their future into their own  ;hands: Youth work and entrepreneurial learning&nbs p;- analyses the valuable contribution youth work makes in supporting young people in achieving competences for life.
The study is based on an extensive collection of data about youth work and entrepreneurial learning in all EU Member States. It confirms that youth work has an important contribution to make, but that improvements should be made in respect to the policy framework, and through partnerships at national, regional and local level.
The report delivers concrete recommendations for policymakers, educators and for youth organisations.
