The first, second and third European Youth Work Conventions and their final declarations, the efforts to strengthen the development and implementation of quality youth work within the framework of the European Youth Work Agenda through the Bonn Process, 6 as well as the complementarity of the work undertaken within the Council of Europe in relation to youth work, as emphasised in the EU Youth Strategy 2019-2027.
NOTING:
11.
The ideas and opinions of young people on means to strengthen the competences of youth workers to work with young people with fewer opportunities as expressed during the Belgian EU Youth Conference between 2-5 March 2024 in Ghent: young people stressed the importance of the promotion of professionalised youth work, recognising youth work and informal learning, and fostering inclusive spaces. In their opinion, this can be achieved through structural investments and trainings for youth workers, alongside ensuring capacity building and continuous dialogue between youth workers and stakeholders such as non-formal and informal educators. Additionally, young people highlighted that increased access to funding opportunities at the local level, youth-centered participatory budgeting, the provision of resources for mobile youth work, and formal recognition of volunteer youth work are essential steps toward safeguarding the rights of young people with fewer opportunities and to improving the awareness and competences necessary to create inclusive, safe spaces for young people.
12.
The outcomes of the European Conference on Local Youth Work and Democracy that took place between 20-23 February 2024 in Brussels and its recommendations for action attached in Annex IV to this resolution.
During this conference, it was expressed that By investing in a robust and long term local youth work policy, based on intense dialogue and participation, local governments create concrete conditions for the optimal development of local youth work. Therefore, municipalities need a framework that gives contours and inspiration to create tailor made sturdy local support systems. Member States should invest to shape this framework together with local actors in a pan-European network. Furthermore, it was stressed that there is a pressing need to sustain investments in more effective and efficient practices relating to inclusion, equality, participation, democracy and diversity. Local youth work and local youth work policy offer unique places to translate all these human values in concrete, hands on practices.

The fourth European Youth Work Convention, which is planned in May-June 2025 in Malta, with the financial support of the Erasmus+ programme Youth.
STRESSING THAT:

Young people are not a homogenous group, and thus have a multitude of identities and diverse needs, resources, backgrounds, life situations and interests. Young peoples talents, strength, creativity, engagement, and commitment contribute to a prosperous, democratic society. They are one of societys strengths, as well as individual rights-holders and agents of solidarity and change. Many young people have shown a strong sense of resilience and continue to mobilise for their concerns, thereby contributing to positive change in society 7. They should be recognised, enabled, supported and empowered in this role.
15.
Young people across the European Union are facing a changing and complex society tainted by a variety of unprecedented developments and challenges: the global climate crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic, Russias war of aggression against Ukraine, the conflict in the Middle East and conflicts in other parts of the world. These circumstances and phenomena have an impact on the mental health and well-being of children and young people and have profoundly marked European societies in recent years with lasting effects.
16.
The inflation and increase in living costs ensuing from the above challenges have a stark impact on the living conditions of children and young people, which may in turn lead to their poverty and disincentivise voluntary engagement in and impair access to youth work. Additionally, as disinformation, polarisation and dimmed trust in politics impact both the voices of children and young people and their active European citizenship, there is a need to revitalise democracy, in particular by safeguarding and creating civic spaces. Furthermore, various migratory phenomena can contribute, among other factors, to more diversity in European societies. These developments shape a societal landscape that reveals or emphasises inequalities further and are affecting young peoples perceptions, engagement and position in society.
