2010 promises to be a decisive year for young people in Europe and in the world more generally. At the same time, there seem not to be enough information about youth available! To fill the gap, the European Youth Forum has designed a new tool that aims to keep track of the latest news concerning young people, and provide a new easily accessible source of information on any recent youth policies at a European level. This new bulletin will monitor and relate any political decisions and events that have particular significance for youth, as well as provide an overview of the European media's coverage of the latest most relevant news topics.

The Youth Policy Watch will arrive directly in your inbox every two weeks on Tuesday. Subscribe to it on www.youthforum.org and get the first issue TODAY!

In the first issue: while the UN has proclaimed 2010 to be the International year of Youth, unemployment rates of young people are at their highest since the late 1990s, and European leaders seem to believe that the answer to the financial crisis in Europe is more investment in education.
