Introduction 

YOUTH FOR EUROPE PROGRAMME 

1998 further consolidated the development and sustainability of the Youth for Europe programme in the framework of the European 

Union’s continuing allegiance to the field of education, youth and training. Throughout its eleven years of implementation, the 

programme has never failed to support the creative energy and entrepreneurial spirit of young people, particularly now that they are 

at the threshold of an ever changing and expanding Europe as we approach the Millennium. 

Throughout the year, priorities were placed on youth work that promotes tolerance with a special emphasis placed on anti-racism 

following the success of the 1997 “European Year against Racism and Xenophobia”. The programme has helped young people in 

communities all over Europe integrate at local and European levels and learn about each others respective cultures and traditions. 

This approach has also supported young ethnic minorities all around Europe integrate at a social, cultural and European level, 

deconstructing stereotypes and negative ideologies promoted by war, hatred and disintegration. 

This Compendium presents the projects financed under the 1998 centralised selections and re-iterates the Commission’s commitment 

to projects demonstrating good quality in terms of originality, the overall learning objective and the adherence to the criteria which is 

the cornerstone for the educational context. The projects show the trends of young people, presenting a mutual opportunity for them 

to develop innovative ideas regarding their future, but also giving the Commission the chance to keep in touch with these trends and 

realise the dreams of the young participants. 

During the year relationships between European and international partnerships, networks and the local communities have developed 

and consolidated, successfully culminating in a rich mixture of exchanges, study visits, seminars, youth initiatives, voluntary work 

and dissemination of contemporary European related issues through the media. 

New organisations became aware of the excellent opportunities that the programme can offer and came forward with new and 

exciting projects, which covered deserving ideas ranging from the integration of the economically and socially disadvantaged to the 

socially excluded and the geographical isolated. Yet again young people have benefited from the support of projects which also place 

a special emphasis on projects which deal with physically and mentally handicapped people who sometimes feel excluded both from 

society and the work of the European Union. The project is sometimes the young Persons’ first experience with a European 

orientated programme because previous scepticism or absence of information has prevented it. By addressing young people outside 

the rigours of intimidating formal education structures, the programme develops the initiative and energetic ideas of young people, 

promoting solidarity and recognising the value of democracy, which promotes freedom of expression and tolerance. 

Exchanges are fundamental to the growth of intercultural solidarity and in 1998 themes such as the multi-cultural integration, young 

people and the media and the role of young women in conflict areas played dominant roles. Many projects focused on long term 

youth co-operation. Young people could travel within and beyond Europe with the specific aim to learn more about the rich culture 

and traditions of their international neighbours in Europe and as far away as Africa, the Mediterranean and Latin America. An effort 

was undertaken to ensure the participation of young people who previously would not have had the opportunity to take part in the 

project because of negative socio-economic circumstances. These people saw the educational and integral influence cultural, political 

and social environments played in the shaping of ideologies. They also saw new countries, witnessed new cultures and traditions, 

forged new friendships which continued after the programme and had a positive, fun experience, which they will remember for the 

rest of their lives. 

Youth initiatives capture the unique spirit of creativity of the Youth for Europe programme and it is here where we can witness the 

active imagination and spirit of young people come alive for the benefit of their personal growth while at the same time fostering 

solidarity among the local community. Young people realised that their involvement in local level initiatives indirectly contributes to 

the development of the European Union. In 1998, young people presented themes, which pivoted upon the aesthetical development 

of the environment relying heavily on tools such as art and the creativity of the participants. One such example was when a project 

developed solidarity among culturally diverse minorities by using the medium of music to act as a creative stimulus to get in touch 

with their rich ethnic past. These young people also obtained an informative insight to the intricacies of music production, which will 

benefit them in their future search for employment. 

Short-term voluntary service placements foster a sense of belonging to the community and develop a sense of responsibility, 

initiative and maturity which can prove to be a unique once in a lifetime experience for everybody involved. The programme 

provides an opportunity for young people to actively contribute to the improvement of the conditions of the local community through 

voluntary service, which promotes a clear European context. It is through these exciting opportunities that the personal, social and 

creative skills can unconsciously develop the instinct and character of the person volunteering for the activity. In 1998 young people 

used this medium to train and work as leaders, in youth activity camps and courses from places ranging from their local community 

to the far corners of Europe.


One of the most important aspects of youth work is the training given the youth workers. The Youth for Europe programme actively 

recognises and promotes this idea. Youth workers who regularly work directly with young people, particularly those who are 

disadvantaged, were trained to improve the quality and management and number of youth related projects that apply every year. 

Young people can improve their inter-personal and professional skills in a creative environment, which promotes maturity and 

intuition. The projects also trained youth workers, developing a pool of trainers who devised training modules for integrated youth 

work. The supported projects develop personal self-confidence, the ability to forge inter-personal relations by meeting new people, 

exchange already successfully proven methods in youth work and even give the participants the opportunity to practice the new 

languages they have learned! 

The transfer of experience, ideas and the creation and development of networks is essential to the effective circulation of information 

through the media about the European Union and contemporary youth related issues but at the same time learn about new 

technologies such as the Internet and e-mail. More traditional ways were also proposed such as meetings and discussions in seminars, 

production of videos and magazines or even several of them together. This colourful and dynamic approach is not only an exciting 

opportunity to take part in a Youth for Europe project but also focuses on serious themes such as campaigning against racism, 

xenophobia, drug addiction and equal opportunities. 

Through a coherent approach regarding studies already being carried out in the European Union, the programme also gives young 

people an opportunity to express what they want in the future, particularly regarding European integration and the problems they face 

achieving this. This knowledge provides the Commission with the “real” priority needs of young people while also laying the 

foundations for a more co-operative approach in the youth field. 

Of course to realise the dream of multi-cultural integration at a European level, we need the agreement and support of the 

participating countries. Youth for Europe provides financial and moral support for projects who aim to bring together the officials 

and experts working in governmental structures responsible for youth matters at a local, regional and national level. The participants 

hope to promote a better understanding of the policies and administrative procedures of their counterparts, which is fundamental to 

the success and realisation of European orientated youth projects. 

The imagination of a young person is like a fertile ground, which needs to be encouraged, respected and taken care of but once it has, 

it will grow, develop and yield benefits for both itself and the community. This Compendium represents the ideas, hopes, ambitions, 

interests and realisations of today’s young people. These young people will be the European leaders of tomorrow and a close look at 

the project proves they are actively accepting and preparing for this responsibility and training for the challenge of developing and 

sustaining the new Europe of the Millennium

Description 

''Values of Diversity in Youth Culture'' is the theme of the exchange taking place in Valetta, Malta, which is organised by a 

European NGO promoting intercultural learning and mutual understanding through cultural exchanges, seminars and visits. This 

exchange will involve 18 participants from UK(5), F(2), B(2), NL(2), M(5) and TR(2) to explore the diverse European and local 

culture. The aim is that through getting to know the local hosting culture the participants will learn to know better their own and 

the other cultures present in the exchange. The programme introduces the Maltese society and culture through guided family visits, 

by exploring specific themes together with a local journalist and by presenting culture quiz in street interviews with local 

population. All participants are requested to present their own countries and how they feel about being young in the society they 

live. One day is devoted to group work to establish a fictitious country with cultural profile, map, history, laws, decision-making 

concerning crime, military service, religion, etc. Olympic games for the fictitious countries will also be organised. The other 

groups will have an opportunity to argue against or in favour of some policies of the fictitious countries. Through all this the 

participants will understand the intricacies of decision-making and what cultural differences and values are about.

Created in 1997, Y.E.S. Euromed is a network that aims to promote the values of tolerance and the respect of Human Rights as well 

as increase awareness and provide information on Mediterranean cultures through intercultural dialogue. It is in this perspective 

that it sets up youth exchanges, training for youth workers and visits to network member countries. 

Starting with the observation that the Mediterranean link cannot be created merely by crossing-over practices, for the diversity of 

values and various ways of doing things generate many difficulties when preparing an intercultural project. YES Euro-Med 

suggests providing ''training in intercultural encounters''. This activity will take place in Syros (GR) and will bring together 27

members of the network. Based on the displacement concept (making space for and going into the unknown), the ''experience'' 

training which has been inspired namely by the work of Alain Touraine will enable the participants to live in situations of 

displacement, share exchanges on the diversity of practices and understand and conceptualise together. The activity will enable 

them to better prepare and organise future exchange projects and set up a shared training strategy.

using the infrastructure and support of the centre. 

The youngsters state that there is a lack of information for immigrants in Aachen. That is why they want to set up an information 

activity: on the one hand they want to try to get qualified information on immigrant related subjects and to address themselves to 

local and regional politicans; on the other hand the collected information and the results of their contacts will be presented in a 

newspaper. They also plan to help youngsters who are in difficulties because of being an immigrant.

information hinders the inhabitants from seeking jobs or opportunities to change their lives; this is particularly true of young 

people. A radio station would open up a space for expression, communication and information not only among local inhabitants but 

also further away.

FRANCE 

Description 

The project is proposed by the French branch of SCI. This is an international association that aims to promote peace through youth 

exchanges, intercultural encounters and voluntary work camps as areas for tolerance and mutual respect. The partners are the 

German and Italian branches of the organisation. 7 young people (2DE, 2F, 2I) who mostly come from immigrant groups and suffer 

from academic failure must discover what voluntary work is, and how it can represent a path for integration. The project is itinerant 

and will take place in Belgium, France and Spain. The idea is to better identify what volunteer work means for young people and 

what are its different perspectives, through press reports and interviews with volunteers involved in the summer activities. This 

action will take place prior to a longer volunteer action, which will be an international encounter on the same theme, due to take 

place in October.

Description 

Young volunteers from seven European countries (Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain) invited by UNAIYS (which 

is a registered charity organisation) will come to Wales in order to develop and set up a project for children and young people in 

Rhondda. In this part of Wales the closure of the majority of the mines has left behind a legacy of an alarmingly high degree of 

unemployment which is the cause of a wide range of social problems and the disintegration of the local industry. Consequently 

there is a lack of play facilities and activities for young people. Therefore, it will be the main aim of the project to extend and 

deepen the youth work and youth activities provided to the community and to actively involve the young European volunteers in 

this. The project aims at their integration and interaction with the local community and thus brings them into a meaningful contact 

with the local people by working alongside them for the benefit of the community. They themselves can benefit from their 

involvement as it is planned to be an intercultural learning experience.

initiative is a European-Latin American exchange of 32 young youth workers and trainers (18 EU: 2E, 5F, 3P, 5B, 3GB; 14LA: 

2AR, 1BO, 3BR, 1CL, 1CO, 1HN, 1NIC, 2PE, 2UY) to be held in Seville (Andalusia) on the theme ''North-South -increasing 

awareness of difference through equality''. The project comes within the international framework of partners in the IFM-SEI 

network and was decided upon during a youth exchange under the Youth for Europe programme that took place in 1996. This 

showed that there was a need to organise an exchange of youth workers and trainers within the fight against racism, xenophobia and 

anti-Semitism. The exchange aims to make young people aware of the interdependence that exists between North and South and 

discuss in detail the question of social and cultural differences. The participants will also develop and distribute the methodology 

used by youth organisations and promote solidarity between young people in order to help them become responsible citizens.

Description 

The applicant, IEIE from Stuttgart (D), is an association which promotes international youth exchanges and training courses. The 

project will gather 26 young people from D(5), E(4), I(3), GR(5) and the MED countries CY(4) and EGY(5) for a 10 day activity in 

Alexandria (EGY). The idea for this project came up during an international youth training activity in Germany in October 96, 

when youngsters - among them some Egyptians - during a workshop tried to figure out a subject for a common activity. The project 

which is coordinated by the German partner is being developed by all partners and especially in close co-operation with various 

EGY authorities which, according to the law, have to formally approve youth exchanges in their country. The subject of the project 

is international learning by tackling environmental problems. As the European participants are all committed to environmental work 

they will have the opportunity to work with others who are just beginning to discover such problems, living in a society which is 

not at all sensitised to environmental issues. The project is based on a step by step pedagogy in both the preparation as well as in 

the activity in Alexandria itself. Great efforts were made to convince Egyptian authorities of the advantage of having such an 

exchange in their country. The project is unique and gives a good example of new possibilities for cooperation with MED 

countries.

Description 

The applicant is a seminar centre in Bendorf (D) of Christian background, specialising in the preparation of multi-cultural and 

multi-religious training for leaders. The partners are similar centres of different religious backgrounds working in the same domain. 

They are situated in London (GB), in EGY and IL. Groups of 5 participants will be recruited by the 4 preparing centres. They will

team. The project, entitled ''See the difference - see the corresponding points. Political and religious tolerance in Europe and the 

Middle East'', is an exchange held in Hedwig-Dransfeld-Haus in Bendorf (D). The participants are asked to prepare several inputs. 

The project aims to provide young leaders and multipliers an opportunity to get acquainted with different religions in order to help 

them to promote tolerance and respect towards the different religions and cultures present in Europe and the Middle East. Starting 

with the presentation of Europe (cultural, political and economical aspects) the subject turns straight to problems linked to religion. 

They are focused from the different (Jewish, Christian, Muslim) points of view. The third part of the activity stresses tolerance 

training and also dialogue within the group and tries to develop a common religious event. The last day is used to develop ideas for 

the personal follow up. Two field visits will take the group to Bonn and Strasbourg and their political institutions.

Description 

A training course ''Initiating local youth work and building an effective local, regional, national and international youth network'', 

organised in Belgium-Flanders-Meise (Flemish Brabant) by GLOBUS, will involve 20 participants from D, B, LT, GEO. The 

applicant organisation is a national association aiming to unite youth organisations and individuals from different countries to 

strive together for true democracy. The partners, who are local youth councils and/or networks are confronted with problems when 

organising themselves. The young people and their organisations lack the skills, first of all, to develop local youth structures (LYS), 

local youth councils (LYC), local youth inititives (LYI) and also to communicate with local governments. Local youth organisers 

often face problems when communicating with national youth councils and vice versa. Furthermore, the lack of skills and 

communication problems deprive them of participating in European level youth work. Through workshops initiating the basic skills 

needed, the participants will be stimulated to be more effective in their actions at local level. Teamwork, working with deadlines, 

coping with information, speaking in public are just some of the topics that the training course will focus on.

Description 

Title: The integration of young people into working life & future of democratic culture 

The study aims: 

a) to test the hypotesis that prospects of under-occupation undermine support for democracy among young people; 

b) to specify how the relation between work opportunities and their adhesion to democratic values is mediated by exogenous 

factors - at the global, local, and family-individual level. Our empirical analysis will focus on Southern Europe, where youth 

unemployment is a widespread phenomenon and a rooted tradition of anti-democratic political values exists (at least in Spain 

and Italy). 

The basic hypothesis is that the closure of the labour market for young people in contemporary Europe favours, under certain 

conditions, the weakening of their support for democratic values. In particular, the increase of intragenerational competition for 

access to jobs may foster, on the one hand, anti democratic ideologies among youth who fear descending mobility, and 

"ultraliberalism" among youth who feel advantaged in this competition. Research is needed to test this hypothesis and specify which 

intervening variables sharpen or buffer the link between occupational prospects and political values. The role of class, gender, 

education, social context, andfamily socialization will be especially taken into account. Empirical analysis will be carried out, at first, 

in Itlay, Spain and France: the three largest countries of Southern Europe, that is the sub-European area where the problem of youth 

employment is most severe today and perhaps also in 

the near future.

Description 

The aim is to construct a comparative YOUTH SURVEYS INFORMATION DATA BASE by collecting and documenting existing 

surveys of youth which are carried out in East and West Europe. This data base could be used by youth researchers and policy 

makers to better understand the life conditiond and values of young people in Europe. The YOUTH SURVEYS INFORMATION 

DATA BASE will concentrate upon the following kinds of data: First, comparative international surveys of which young people 

form a sub-section. Second, national youth surveys carried out on a regular basis in different European countries. A particular 

emphasis would be upon longitudinal and comparative surveys. In this way, a thematic data base could be drawn up from data 

already existing. The application includes a list of youth surveys experts from different countries who ca help identify surveys and 

advise on their comparability. Once collected, the data would be made available through existing European Survey archives and 

electronically through the World Wide Web.

Description 

Marginalisation of youth is a consequence of structural indifference of modern society in respect to this population group. Political 

participation is in our view a remedy for overcoming increasing intergenerational tensions and contradictions. The study consists of a 

theoretical analysis of political participation of youth, a cross-national collection and examination of experiences in Austria, Finland, 

and Italy, as well as conclusions for future research and practise.

Title: Youth unemployment and processes of marginalisation (Northern European Periphery) 

Throughout the European Union high levels of youth unemployment put young people at risk of marginalisation and exclusion. A 

cross-sectional comparative study is currently being conducted in all of the Nordic countries, as well as is Ireland and Scotland. The 

study involves a representative sample of young people who have all been unemployed for at least three months. The study draws on 

data from the unemployment register data as well from as postal questionnaires which were distributed six months after the sample 

selection. In the Nordic countries the survey was conducted in 1995/96, while in Scotland and Ireland the survey is scheduled for 

1997. A qualitative study is also planned in most of the countries.
