Make use of the momentum from Europe for your work! Discover the potential of the European Youth Work Agenda (EYWA) for Germany and draw inspiration from practical examples. Develop fresh ideas together for the German and European professional debate.
How can our work become more visible and gain greater recognition? What can we do about staff shortages and insufficient funding? How can we enable young people to gain an international perspective? These are just some of the questions youth work in Germany is currently facing — and we’re not alone in this across Europe.
The European Youth Work Agenda (EYWA) is a joint response to these challenges. It offers a framework and inspiration for the development of youth work across Europe. But what concrete support does Europe offer for professionals and organisations?
In this workshop, we will explore where the German implementation process stands five years after the introduction of the EYWA. We will take inspiration from practical examples that have already achieved a lot with the help of the EYWA — and are planning even more!
We’ll also look at how the EYWA is being implemented in other European countries. This comes just before the 4th European Youth Work Convention, taking place from 27 to 30 May 2025 in Malta. The Convention, held every five years, brings together stakeholders in the youth work field from up to 50 European countries. In this workshop, we will develop ideas and topics from the German professional debate that can feed into the Convention and shape the next five-year cycle of EYWA implementation in Germany.
