National youth policy review of Romania

International review of national youth policy

Romania is undergoing a complex transformation period which is of great interest to the study of societies in transition as an example of the processes under way in eastern Europe. The relevance of the Romanian case study is also linked with the country’s location on the centuries-old frontier between the West and the East. Hence the paradigmatic sociological interest of some of the options facing youth policy development in Romania, such as the choice between facilitation or interventionist policy. Young democracies wishing to establish new institutions, modernise their economies and promote social welfare face difficult decisions. Unlike the decisions taken during the transition process, in a context of general consensus as to the need to do away with the previous autocratic system, the decisions to be taken during consolidation should have a lasting and significant effect on the future – starting with the future of young people.

National youth policy review of Estonia

International review of national youth policy

Two major factors frame contemporary Estonian youth policy: the traditional importance of education and educational values and the need to manage the useful but expensive national educational and leisure institutions inherited from the country’s communist past. However, within the last few years a set of structures and measures for broadening the scope of national youth policy have been conceived. Huge tasks lie ahead, particularly concerning the dilemma of ethnicity and citizenship, and the division of labour in the youth policy field between the state, regional and municipal levels. Analysing critically the successes and difficulties of a country in transition, this publication contributes to the European debate on the principles, content and standards for modern youth policy.

Youth against violence

Seminar report by Ingrid Ramberg

The seminar "Youth against Violence" brought together young people from all over Europe, who are ready to stand up to violence, to support the victims of violence and to develop strategies and projects to counteract violence. They are active in their local neighbourhoods, in schools, in youth clubs, in local associations and initiatives and within their peer-groups. Most importantly, they are courageous and pragmatic, and they are not afraid to look closely at the dark sides of society and to initiate change within their social environments. This work is rarely without inconvenience, risk and danger, and it often involves long-term commitment.

The Council of Europe and Youth

Thirty years of experience (2002)

The Council of Europe has pioneered European youth policy. On the one hand, the need to provide young people with a really creative place for participation in society was recognised and on the other, there was an awareness that the new stages in the building of Europe required not only governments but society at large to participate. From the outset, participation has been central to the Council's youth policy: "working for and with young people".

Youth work with boys and young men

as a means of preventing violence in everyday life

Young men and boys are increasingly exposed to violent situations in their daily lives, as a result of peer-group competitiveness and society's views of success, which are based solely on physical and economic considerations. Combating violence against girls and young women is already one of the most pressing human rights issues across Europe. However, while young boys and men frequently figure as actual or potential perpetrators of violence, their roles as victims or advocates of non-violence is often neglected. Measures to combat violence have to be gender specific and involve both sexes in order to be effective.

Learning from violence

Symposium report by Ingrid Ramberg

Violence is arguably the most common form of violation of human rights, affecting probably all human beings, directly or indirectly. Young people are as exposed to violence as the rest of society, but are more vulnerable to it and its consequences. The need to associate young people with the promotion of a culture of human rights and a non-violent society is at the root of the Human Rights Education Youth Programme. In this report the author analyses the issues related to youth and violence as raised at the Symposium, and presents the recommendations produced.

Islamophobia and its consequences on Young People

Seminar report by Ingrid Ramberg

Islamophobia can be defined as the fear of or prejudiced viewpoint towards Islam, Muslims and matters pertaining to them. Whether it takes the shape of daily forms of racism and discrimination or more violent forms, Islamophobia is a violation of human rights and a threat to social cohesion. Young people are of course not immune to this. At this seminar (2004), Islamophobia was discussed within the wider context of racism and discrimination in Europe, in new and old forms. The report provides a documentation of the presentations, workshops and debates and includes a series of policy recommendations aimed at preventing Islamophobia and fostering intercultural respect and co-operation.

Access of Young People from Disadvantaged Neighbourhoods to Social Rights

Recommendation CM/Rec(2015)3 on the access of young people from disadvantaged neighbourhoods to social rights

Social cohesion is important for the sustainability of democracy and human rights; it implies an acceptance of shared responsibility for the welfare of all members of society, especially those who are at risk of poverty or exclusion. In line with this, the youth policy of the Council of Europe aims at providing young people with “equal opportunities and experience which enable them to develop knowledge, skills and competencies to play a full part in all aspects of society”.

National youth policy review of Serbia

International review of national youth policy

In the late 2000s, Serbia impressed many in the youth field by creating almost the perfect storm in shaping its national youth strategy. Youth policy in Serbia, the 21st international review of national youth policy conducted by the Council of Europe youth department since 1997, considers the state of Serbian youth policy in 2014. It is a story both of impressive achievements and unfulfilled dreams – as politicians of all persuasions in many countries are prone to say about policy development, things have come a long way in a short time, but there is still a long way to go.

Young people's access to rights

Recommendation CM/Rec(2016)7 adopted by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe on 28 September 2016 and explanatory memorandum

Cover page of the Council of Europe Committee of Ministers Recommendation on Young People's Access to Rights The recommendation aims to improve young people’s access to rights rather than to address the specific rights themselves. It focuses on improving access by taking steps to promote awareness among young people of the rights they should enjoy and what they can do if their rights are violated, and by removing legal, political and social barriers. It emphasises how important it is for member States to regularly monitor and respond to the infringement of rights and ensure adequate protection through legal provisions. The recommendation applies to all young people who, by virtue of their age, face barriers to the full enjoyment of their human rights and fundamental freedoms and to their active participation in society..

Looking to the future - Substantive issues, methodological lessons, support measures and youth policy standards: a reflection on the “third seven” Council of Europe international reviews of national youth policy by Howard Williamson

The Council of Europe’s 21 international reviews of national youth policy have, over 20 years, produced a significant body of knowledge and a respected, innovative methodology. They have considerably enhanced the understanding and the development of “youth policy” throughout Europe. [...] This book, the third concerned with supporting young people in Europe, is a synthesis of the last seven international reviews, coupled with an overview of the learning that has accrued from all 21 international reviews. It draws together some of the conclusions and challenges that have emerged over two decades and considers some lessons for the future, not least alternative models of engagement in the youth field between the Council of Europe and its member states.
