ACTION 1 - YOUTH FOR EUROPE
Youth for Europe encourages young people's active participation and the development of their concept of citizenship.

ACTION 2 - EUROPEAN VOLUNTARY SERVICE
European Voluntary Service (EVS) offers young people the opportunity to volunteer abroad, primarily in Europe, for a period of 2 to 12 months.

ACTION 3 - youth in the world

Youth in the World promotes exchanges and co-operation in the field of youth and non-formal education with other regions of the world.


ACTION 4 - youth support systems

Youth Support System is specifically targeted at building the capacity of youth workers and organisations to develop quality activities, thus improving the overall quality of the programme.


ACTION 5 - Support for european co-operation in the
youth field
