Group 2 6 hats discussion on education and training in the new EU strategy for youth
General reflections The new EU strategy for youth • transfers current situation to youth policy • holds the key for a greater recognition of youth work and NFL • can create better links between formal education, NFE, families and communities • fosters better learning opportunities for disadvantaged youth through NFL
General reflections Challenges • different national realities and different levels of recognition of youth work and NFE • young people are seen as receivers of education, not as potential educators • Lack of standards and definitions, e.g. of “quality” in training
Implications for YiA • Possible new financial framework of the new programme according to the priorities of the strategy
Suggestions and proposals • integrate NFL in formal education systems and create greater links between NGOs, schools and employers • adopt participatory practices and structures to include all young people • develop further tools (e.g. self-assessment tools) to foster the recognition of non-formal learning outcomes
