Mládež

At its December plenary, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) discussed the issues affecting young people in the labour market in the context of the 2022 European Year of Youth and the 2023 European Year of Skills. The Committee advocates for a long-term strategy for youth engagement and recommends that the concept of European Years go beyond mere promotional activities and contribute towards clear plans. The needs of refugees and our Ukrainian neighbours must also be a priority of the European Year of Skills.

The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) is this year exceptionally rewarding two sets of winners. Its Civil Society Prize will go both to projects trying to create a better future for young people, and to schemes lending support to Ukrainians affected by Russia's brutal invasion of their country

European organised civil society and citizens have shown unprecedented solidarity with Ukrainian refugees, throwing open their homes, helping these refugees enter the labour market and quickly integrating Ukrainian children into European schools. The EU should now learn from this success story to help all refugees and migrants, the 2022 Forum said.

Středoškolští studenti z celé Evropy předložili místopředsedkyni Evropské komise pro hodnoty a transparentnost Věře Jourové osm konkrétních návrhů. Studenti se zúčastnili akce pro mládež Vaše Evropa, váš názor (YEYS2022), jež proběhla ve virtuální podobě s podtitulem „Pravda o lžích. Mládež proti dezinformacím.“ Akci uspořádal Evropský hospodářský a sociální výbor (EHSV) ve dnech 31. března a 1. dubna 2022.
