Proposal for a Council Recommendation on mobility of young volunteers across Europe

This initiative aims to promote the mobility of young volunteers in Europe and is a component of the EU's "Renewed Social Agenda: Opportunities, Access and Solidarity in 21st century Europe".

It seeks to open up new opportunities for mobility of young volunteers across Member States, and contribute to the development and accessibility of youth education, given that volunteering is an important form of non-formal learning. It will also help build solidarity between individuals and communities.
