Introducing 🇪🇺 #YouthActionPlan for external action! Its objectives are clear:
🔸empower youth and give them a real voice
🔸provide them with the tools to shape solutions to global challenges
🔸drive change towards a greener, fairer, and more peaceful planet
How? 🧵👇
✨ENGAGE!✨ Youth, especially women, are not adequately represented in decision-making.
I started politics young, so I know the challenges.
Our Youth and Women in Democracy Initiative notably will support youth-led organisations in pushing for electoral and democratic reforms.
✨EMPOWER!✨ Young people need hope – and skills and resources to put #SDGs back on track!
🇪🇺 is stepping up #InvestInEducation globally.
And now we launch the Youth Empowerment Fund. It allows youth to access small-scale funding for their projects promoting #SDGs.
✨CONNECT!✨ With #GlobalGateway we want to boost human connections.
Erasmus+ continues to be a success story.
Our Africa-Europe Youth Academy will complement it. It offers opportunities for youth to connect, exchange, and improve their leadership skills in Africa & with 🇪🇺.
Youth say ❌NO❌ to youth-washing!
Young people want to have accountability from the decision-makers and institutions.
That’s why 🇪🇺 #YouthActionPlan sets clear targets and youth-specific indicators as part of its monitoring and reporting framework.
