Policy paper on Recognition of non-formal education: Confirming the real competencies of young people in the knowledge society

Language barriers limit young people's, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, access to rights, public life, and international opportunities. This motion promotes equality by combating language discrimination, fostering inclusion, and affirming that European integration must respect all cultures and languages equally.

In the European context, young people face visa-related challenges, which vary depending on their specific categorisations. This motion aims to raise attention to streamlining visa procedures for young people and promoting accessible and inclusive learning mobility programs across Europe. It seeks to mitigate bureaucratic barriers and ensure equitable opportunities for all, fostering cross-cultural understanding and empowering youth.

The European Youth Forum and our member organisations urge the government to strengthen access to education and adequate housing, civic space and funding for young people and youth organisations in Türkiye.
