Mutual Learning and Expert Groups
Mutual learning between Member States, the European Commission and relevant stakeholders is ideal for the advancement of youth policy with regard to both core and cross-sectoral areas.
Besides Expert Groups, which can develop policy guidance, practical tools and can share good practices, the EU youth strategy 2019-2027 also offers new ways of mutual learning, such as peer learning activities and peer counselling, analysis and studies. Thereby, the priorities of the EU Youth Strategy are followed up as well as through Work Plans for three years.
Under the EU Work plan for Youth, the following activities were implemented:
- President's Youth Advisory Board (2025)
- Peer-learning activities on volunteering mobility (2022)
- Proposal for an updated dashboard of EU youth indicators (2021)
