Youth in Action Programme
The Youth in Action programme (2007-2013) is funded by the European Commission and provides young people with a variety of opportunities for non-formal and informal learning with a European dimension. It builds on the experience of the previous YOUTH programme (2000-2006) and its general objectives are: the promotion and development of young people's active citizenship; solidarity and social cohesion; as well as the development and promotion of quality support systems and European-wide cooperation. Specific programme priorities are: European Citizenship; participation of young people; intercultural dialogue; and the inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities.
The programme is divided into 5 Actions:
- Action 1 - Youth for Europe
- Action 2 - European Voluntary Service
- Action 3 - Youth in the World
- Action 4 - Youth Support Systems
- Action 5 - Support for European Cooperation
