Cartagena youth concerned about high rates of youth unemployment in Spain and Europe, met in the Youth Meeting 2010, which was held last November 27, 2010, at the premises of the Youth Resource Center of the City of Cartagena.
The result of three months of work is now reflected in a Manual of Good Practices on youth employment.
It presents the ideas of the young participants that examined the situation of youth unemployment in Europe and discussed viable strategies to alleviate it.
Participants from different countries, discussed the initiatives proposed in the European Youth Conference in Leuven (Belgium) and merged with their own ideas, develop new points of interest in the field of youth unemployment in Europe.
The meeting also worked with policy makers and young people employability expert advisors.
The project Youth Meeting 2010: Strategies to combat unemployment was born from the initiative of the Youth Council of the City of Cartagena, within the framework of the European Youth in Action, which decided to submit, with great response, the project called National Meeting Youth and Youth Policy Makers.
The result of the work is reflected now in the Manual of Good Practice which will be disseminated through various websites like the United Nations, Youth in Action, Youth Council of Spain, Injuve, European Youth Portal Europe Direct, Red Eurodesk, webs of different political groups and trade unions and different media.
In addition, the initiative coincides with the 2010-2011, proclaimed International Year of the Youth for the United Nations, officially to be held August 12, 2010 to August 11, 2011.
The Handbook of Good Practices on youth employment is divided into 6 categories: - Information, advice and support to young social protection .- .- Transition from education to labor market .- Participation of young people in social dialogue .- Reconciliation of private and professional life .- The role of youth work.
The Handbook of Good Practice will be available for viewing and downloading, as well as all documentation worked in the Youth Gathering 2010 in the CT Young Web "Virtual Reality Centre Youth" http://wwwe.cartagena.es/ctjoven / estudios_informes.asp #
