It draws on literature in the area, a mapping of national<\/span> <span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">contexts, consultation amongst stakeholders and an analysis of successful practice.

The report highlights the diversity of youth work practice, the variety<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">of actors involved, the observable trends in the sector, features of successful youth<\/span> <span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">work and the range of outcomes associated with that success. Furthermore, it presents<\/span> <span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">a comparative overview of the frameworks which support youth work at the national<\/span> <span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">level across the EU. Whilst youth work practice will take place regardless of whether<\/span> <span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">countries provide a policy framework of support for the sector or not, EU and national<\/span> <span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">level policies and funding provisions have the potential to frame and shape the practice<\/span> <span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">of youth work. These should be designed so as to further strengthen the capacity of the<\/span> <span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">sector to provide meaningful activities for young people in their leisure time that lead to<\/span> <span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">identifiable successful outcomes for youth in the EU.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h6><span id=\"page15R_mcid15\" class=\"markedContent\"><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Prepared by Allison Dunne, Daniela Ulicna, Ilona Murphy, Maria Golubeva<\/span><\/span><span id=\"page15R_mcid16\" class=\"markedContent\"><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Checked by Daniela Ulicna, Margaret James<\/span><\/span><span id=\"page15R_mcid17\" class=\"markedContent\"><\/span><span id=\"page15R_mcid18\" class=\"markedContent\"><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Edited by European Commission, February 2014<\/span><\/span><\/h6>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/assets\/eac\/youth\/library\/study\/youth-work-report_en.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u039c\u03a0\u039f\u03a1\u0395\u0399\u03a4\u0395 \u039d\u0391 \u039a\u0391\u03a4\u0395\u0392\u0391\u03a3\u0395\u03a4\u0395 \u03a4\u0397\u039d \u0395\u039a\u0394\u039f\u03a3\u0397 \u0395\u0394\u03a9 | DOWNLOAD PUBLICATION HERE<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About this study The history of providing youth work for young people varies depending on the Member State, but youth work is not a new concept in the EU and the landscape of youth work continues to evolve.
