Why a database of good practices?

Many projects, initiatives, and organisations provide the grounds for catalysing young people's endeavours. It is crucial to understand that youth work and participation do not emerge on its own. Instead, young people need support, training, and spaces for  for active and rich contributions to the  societies in Europe.
A large number of projects and initiatives facilitate learning, communication, and cultural exchange. They support mobility and social engagement of young people on a local, regional, national, and international scale. These projects and initiatives are the foundation for engagement and participation of young people and youth policy beyond the reach and scope of formal education as it is facilitated by schools, universities, or initial vocational training.
The goal of the good practices database is to chart the landscape of European youth work, training and youth policy in order to identify the dynamics and constants in the field. It helps young people, youth trainers, and policy makers to develop ideas for more and better projects by exploring what has been realised in other communities or in different countries.
