Annual Overview "Eurodesk 2013 - a snapshot of action and good practice"
The report highlights the different activities carried out by the Eurodesk network in
2013. The network has been particularly active in delivering information on
European opportunities for young people while promoting youth mobility, together
with information multipliers, via events, online resources and publications.

EP Survey: European youth in 2014
On the eve of the 2014 European Elections, the European Parliament has conducted
a survey among young Europeans aged 16-30 in the 28 EU Member States: 70% of
young people find that EU membership represents an advantage in a globalised
world. The survey will serve as a source of facts and figures for the 5,000 young
people meeting in Strasbourg on 9-11 May at the European Youth Event, as it
addresses the event’s five main themes: youth unemployment, digital revolution,
future of the EU, sustainability and European values.

A Record of Achievements - A United, Open and Stronger Europe
What has the European Commission done for you in the last five years? The answer
to this question can be found on a new European Commission online booklet. The
publication gives a snapshot of some of the main achievements of the current
mandate delivered to citizens and businesses across Europe over the last five
years.

Youth Organisations and the Youth Guarantee in Europe
Launched by the European Youth Forum, the publication finds that, whilst the youth
guarantee provides an unprecedented opportunity to address youth unemployment
across Europe in a coordinated and comprehensive manner, the youth sector feels
that so far the youth guarantee has not lived up to its potential due to a lack of
financial investment and, in certain cases, a lack of political ambition. Furthermore,
it finds that, as has happened in many Member States, a re-packaging of current,
failed systems to tackle youth unemployment is not enough. A major commitment
from businesses, the youth sector, civil society organisations, public employment
services, local authorities as well as national and European-level decision makers is
needed in order for the youth guarantee to be a success and to tackle the gravely
high youth unemployment rate across the continent (which currently stands at
23.5%). The publication includes detailed analysis of the development and
implementation of the youth guarantee in ten Member States, according to the
Youth Forum’s member organisations in those countries.
It is aimed at both youth organisations and policy-makers to outline the role of the
youth sector in the design and implementation of the youth guarantee.

Highlights
Youth unemployment in the EU28
regions in 2013
In 2013, the average unemployment
rate for young people aged between
15 and 24 in the EU28 was 23.4%.
Regional differences in the
unemployment rate for young
bingen (both 4.4%) and
Freiburg (4.7%), and the highest in
Ceuta (72.7%) in Spain and Dytiki
Makedonia (70.6%) and Ipeiros

three quarters of the EU28 regions,
the unemployment rate for young
people was at least twice that for total
unemployment. These data on
regional unemployment, compiled on
the basis of the EU Labour Force
Survey, are published by Eurostat, the
statistical office of the European

partnership for the period 2014-
2016
On 7th April 2014 the 2014-2016
Framework Partnership Agreement in
the field of youth was signed by the
Deputy Secretary General of the
Council of Europe, Ms Gabriella
Battaini-Dragoni and the Director for
Youth and Sport Erasmus+ of the DG
ECA, European Commission, Ms
Chiara Gariazzo. The agreement
renews the partnership, which started
in 1998, aimed at creating synergy
between the two partner institutions
in the youth field. In 2014-2016 the
three specific themes of the EU-CoE
youth partnership are:
participation/citizenship; social
inclusion with the focus on outreach,
access to social rights and fighting
new forms of xenophobia and
discrimination; and recognition and
quality of youth work. The new
partnership aims to improve the
knowledge on youth and contribute to
the development of youth work and
the promotion of its quality and
recognition. Activities of the EU-CoE
youth partnership will target decision
makers, governmental experts, youth
researchers, youth practitioners and
youth organisations for the benefit of
young people in Europe. They will be
organised all over Europe and the
South Mediterranean.

Young people and the
#ConnectedContinent
On 3rd April MEPs voted positively on
the #ConnectedContinent, the
European Commission’s proposal
regulation aimed at eliminating
roaming charges, introducing net
neutrality, and taking other steps to
build a telecoms single market in
Europe. In a recent survey conducted
by ThinkYoung (a think tank on
youth), young Europeans from 18 to
34 year old asked to end
"unbelievable" roaming prices and
"unfair" restrictions on what they can
and can't access online from their
mobile devices. Responses were
gathered from over 1,000 EU citizens
via social media and in person
between 9th October and 10th
November 2013. According to the
survey, a majority of young
Europeans would increase their mobile
usage if roaming fees disappeared
and 79% of them are in favour of
strengthening the EU's regulatory
powers in order to guarantee fair
prices and to harmonise the internal
market.
