Resolution of the Council and of the Representatives of the Governments of the Member States, meeting within the Council, on the structured dialogue with young people on youth employment

2011/C 164/01

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION AND THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE MEMBER STATES,

RECALLING THAT:

The Resolution of 15 November 2005 (1) invited the European Commission and the Member States to develop a structured dialogue with young people and their organisations, researchers in the youth field and policy-makers.

The concept of structured dialogue was further supported by the Resolution of 26 October 2006 (2) which states that due account should be taken of the structured dialogue and its outcome in policy-making at the relevant levels.

The Council Resolution on a renewed framework for European cooperation in the youth field (2010-2018) (3) recognised all young people as a resource to society and highlighted the importance of upholding the right of young people to participate in the development of policies affecting them by means of a continuous structured dialogue with young people and youth organisations.

ACKNOWLEDGE THAT:

The aim of the structured dialogue is to serve as a forum for continuous joint reflection on the priorities, implementation and follow-up of European cooperation in the youth field. Its objective is to involve a diverse range of young people and youth organisations in the consultations, at all levels in the Member States, at the EU Youth Conferences and during the European Youth Week.

The structured dialogue consultations are based on work cycles of 18 months with an overall thematic priority and specific topics that correspond to the overall objectives of European cooperation in the youth field. In this regard, youth employment was agreed by the Council in November 2009 to be the overall thematic priority for European cooperation in the youth field for the first 18-month work cycle (the period 1 January 2010 to 30 June 2011).

The consultations within the structured dialogue are debates on common themes, from local to EU level. At the European level, the European Steering Committee for the structured dialogue is the coordinating body of the consultations. It is composed of representatives of Member States from the Team Presidency (Ministry, National Youth Councils and National Agencies of the Youth in Action Programme), European Commission and the European Youth Forum. At the national level, Member States have supported the establishment of national working groups or utilised existing structures to consult young people and youth organisations. The results of the national consultations considered and compiled by the European Steering Committee are brought to the EU Youth Conferences.

RECOGNISE THAT:

Following the process defined in the Council Resolution on a renewed framework for European cooperation in the youth field (2010-2018), the first cycle of structured dialogue has provided a forum for joint reflection in the field of youth-related policies, and identified further challenges to be met. Resulting from the nature of the process, young people living throughout the European Union had the opportunity to express their opinions and ideas during the same consultation phase on a common priority theme.

Apart from national youth councils, other actors of youth policy, such as the ministries, the national agencies of the Youth in Action Programme, youth workers and youth researchers were involved.

An increasing number of national working groups are contributing to the consecutive rounds of consultations by developing strategies and methodologies to implement structured dialogue with young people and providing the European Steering Committee with national reports. These contributions and the further discussions that took place during the EU Youth Conferences put forward policy messages, providing input for EU policies.

RECOMMEND THAT:

The structured dialogue should be further developed and that several areas could be considered during the second 18-month work cycle, including:

Political follow-up

| (a) | promoting a political follow-up of the results of the structured dialogue; |

—

the areas for the incoming Team Presidency cycle should be defined before the beginning of its term following the evaluation report prepared by the Council.

CONSIDER THAT:

The outcome of the first cycle of the structured dialogue is building on the results achieved by the national consultations during the Spanish, Belgian and Hungarian Presidencies, as well as EU Youth Conferences in Jerez de la Frontera in April 2010, Leuven in October 2010 and Budapest in March 2011. During the Spanish EU Youth Conference, representatives of Member Sates and youth delegates jointly identified priorities for youth employment, and during the Belgian EU Youth Conference, they jointly transferred them into policy recommendations that were refined into concrete outcomes at the Hungarian EU Youth Conference.

EMPHASISE THAT:

The following points that were raised as priority areas in the conclusions of the structured dialogue on youth employment:

| 1. | Promoting easier access for all young people, in particular young people with fewer opportunities, to a youth-friendly, quality information about the labour market is crucial. Career-oriented training and guidance needs to be integrated at all appropriate levels of formal education and non-formal learning paths in order to raise young people’s awareness and create better chances for them with regard to labour market requirements and prepare them for working life. |
