A renewed EU Youth Strategy proposed by the European Commission for 2019-2027

The new EU Youth Strategy will also develop its cross-sectoral approach by addressing the needs of young people in other EU policy areas.

The Commission proposes some important novelties compared to the current policy framework:

A new EU Youth coordinator will channel voices of young people in the Commission, thus allowing young people to contribute to shaping EU policies across areas; the coordinator will strengthen the dialogue with young people, notably via the European Youth Portal and the EU Youth Strategy Platform,
A renewed EU Youth Dialogue to take youth concerns better into account and ensure wider outreach, including through innovative formats;
Tracking of EU spending for youth in main funding programmes;
An agenda for youth work to further improve its quality, innovation and recognition and to allow other sectors to capitalise on the potential of non-formal learning;
A clearer link between EU youth policy implementation and related programme activities in Erasmus+ and the European Solidarity Corps.
