RETO JUVENIL INTERNACIONAL
Participant of the Annual Event of the OECD
Youth Organisations’ Sounding Board for Governance (YOUNG)
The event serves for youth organisations across the OECD to meet with each other, receive updates on the latest work of YOUNG, and to discuss the findings of the survey to youth organisations on how you would like to continue engaging with the OECD. The event was also an opportunity to be consulted on ongoing work of the OECD to support adhering countries to implement and disseminate the OECD Recommendation on Creating Better Opportunities for Young People .
YOUNG promotes a government-wide strategy to improve youth outcomes in all relevant policy areas, including employment, entrepreneurship, education and social policies, as well as civic engagement and public governance. To support the implementation and dissemination of the Youth Recommendation, the OECD has been working towards an OECD Youth Policy Toolkit which will provide hands-on guidance and good practices on the design and implementation of policies in line with the Youth Recommendation.
RETO JUVENIL INTERNACIONAL participate with members of Youthwise, the OECD’s Youth Advisory Board, and young people from Berlin, Latin American OECD countries and Asia-Pacific OECD countries, to gain a better understanding of young people’s needs and priorities and discuss the role they can play in the implementation of the Youth Recommendation to enrich the main pillars such as: labour market; social inclusion and wellbeing; trust in government and public institutions.
