Gioventù

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.

L'Associazione Agevolando è stata selezionata per l'edizione 2022 del Premio CESE per la società civile, che quest'anno viene assegnato in due categorie: responsabilizzare i giovani e aiutare le vittime della guerra in Ucraina. L'Associazione Agevolando concorre per il premio sui giovani, insieme a due progetti provenienti da Portogallo e Spagna. I tre finalisti per il premio sull'Ucraina arrivano da Romania, Polonia e Spagna.

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.
