Council Resolution on youth work

The text recognises the crucial role of youth work as a provider of non-formal learning; it encourages member states to support youth work and create better conditions and more opportunities for it at all levels. The resolution also invites the Commission to develop a study to map the diversity, coverage and impact of youth work in the EU.

In this context, the Commissioner announced her intention to propose during 2011 a Council recommendation on the recognition of non-formal and informal learning outcomes.
