Objectives and supported actions in the field of ENAR's work

The permanent priorities of the youth programme are:

European citizenship
participation of young people
cultural diversity
inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities

In addition to the permanent priorities, the 2010 annual priorities are:

European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion

This priority is intended to encourage projects aimed at raising young people's awareness of everyone’s responsibility in tackling poverty and marginalisation as well as at promoting the inclusion of groups with fewer opportunities. This concerns in particular, projects aimed at stimulating young people's reflection on the prevention, ways out and consequences of poverty; projects tackling the issue of marginalisation and various forms of discrimination, such as those based on gender, disability or ethnic, religious, linguistic or migrant grounds. In this context, particular attention will be paid in particular to projects promoting the active involvement of: (a) disabled young people, encouraging exchange between young people with and without disabilities, as well as projects focusing on the issue of disability in our society; (b) young people from migrant backgrounds or ethnic, religious or linguistic minorities. In this context, projects involving Roma young people shall be encouraged wherever relevant.

Youth unemployment and promotion of young unemployed people's active participation in society

This priority is intended to encourage projects tackling the issue of youth unemployment and aimed at stimulating young unemployed people's active participation in society.

Awareness-raising and mobilization of young people around global challenges (such as sustainable development, climate change, migrations, the Millennium Development Goals)

This priority is intended to encourage projects aimed at raising young people's consciousness of their role as active citizens in a globalized world as well as at fostering their sense of global solidarity and commitment vis-à-vis current issues.
