Press Release: The White Paper on Youth proposes a method and priorities for getting young people more involved in decisions which concern them

The European Commission adopted on 21 November 2001 a White Paper on Youth Policy. Based on extensive consultation of tens of thousands of young Europeans, and in concert with the Member States, youth organisations and experts in the field, the White Paper seeks to bridge the gap between young people and active citizenship. It proposes a method and priorities for getting young people more involved in decisions which concern them.
