Youth Policy

The current generation of young Europeans is the first to have grown up in a largely borderless and peaceful Europe. This is a Europe where they can move around freely, work and learn more easily than ever before - and it is very different to the one their grandparents, or even parents, grew up in. Young people nowadays are intelligent and independent young men and women, who know what they want, and who are doing their best to reach their goals. But sometimes obstacles come in their way and they may need a helping hand. The EU tries to support and help if something goes wrong and to encourage reaching new and better horizons.
