The annual report of activities 2021 of the Partial Agreement on Youth Mobility through the Youth Card is now available. Having in mind the priorities for the 2020-2021 programme of activities of the Council of Europe’s Youth Sector youth mobility remains an important tool for achieving these objectives. Int 2021, youth mobility has been challenged and replaced by online activities. However, the European Youth Centres gradually opened their doors to youth activities and mobility within projects improved, compared to 2020. Youth mobility remained at the core of EYCA and the Association piloted hybrid seminars and trainings, offering young people the possibility of either travelling or attending online. The proposed specific aims for the PA work programme 2021 were:
- Support and encourage innovation in youth work and youth services, especially in the context of COVID-19 challenges; - Explore how the European Youth Card can support resilience and participation of young people and access to their rights; - Promote the European Youth Card as a tool for young people’s social, economic and cultural inclusion. |
