  the implementation of joint initiatives promoting cooperation, peer learning and exchanges of experience at European level.
• Capacity Building in the field of Youth (under Key Action 2) offering civil society fellowships as well as partnerships for entrepreneurship.
• Involvement of young people and youth organisations in the Structured Dialogue (under Key Action 3) through their participation in international meetings, conferences and events that promote dialogue between young people and decision makers

WHAT ARE THE AIMS OF THESE ACTIONS?

• To improve the level of key competences and skills of young people, including those with fewer opportunities, and youth workers, as well as to promote participation in democratic life in Europe and the labour market, active citizenship, intercultural dialogue, social inclusion and solidarity;
• To foster quality improvements in youth work, in particular through enhanced cooperation between organisations in the youth field and/or other stakeholders;
• To complement policy reforms at local, regional and national level and to support the development of knowledge and evidence-based youth policy as well as the recognition of non-formal and informal learning;
• To enhance the international dimension of youth activities.
