The European Commission has adopted a new EU strategy for youth policy for the coming decade.

The actions involve key policy areas that affect Europe's young people, particularly youth education, employment, creativity and entrepreneurship, social inclusion, health and sport, civic participation, and volunteering.

The new strategy also emphasises the importance of youth work and defines reinforced measures for a better implementation of youth policies at the EU level.

The strategy has the following goals:

• to create more opportunities for youth in education and employment,
• to improve access and full participation of all young people in society, and
• to foster solidarity between youth and society.

The strategy is available to download from the European Commission website.
