Cooperation between public authorities and non-governmental youth associations in preparing the strategic documents in the field of youth policy in EU countries
EU youth policy is very dynamic, but with different rates of development in each EU country. The main purpose of youth policy in the EU is to motivate and support making informed life decisions that contribute to the personal and social development of young people and the development of society as a whole. Accomplishing this goal is possible only by empowering the young citizens and their active involvement in the preparation, implementation and evaluation of the initiatives and activities efficiency that reflect the needs, interests, ideas and experiences of young people.However, in order to establish a common European civic space, it is necessary to consider the national circumstances of each EU country and the implementation of the state youth policy of each state separately.As the issue of the relationship between public authorities with various youth policy actors in the European Union remains under-explored, and a comprehensive approach to the study of European youth policy is missing, we analyzed the state of interaction between public authorities and EU youth associations on preparing the national development strategies for youth policy, such as France, Germany, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic.The aim of the article is to study the problem of interaction between government agencies and youth associations on the example of attracting young citizens in the development and implementation of regulations in some EU countries and to justify proposals for implementing the Strategy for State Youth Policy of Ukraine 2030.The article clarifies the imperfection of a comprehensive approach to the implementation of youth work in the European community. It is proposed to use the best results of cooperation between the authorities and the youth of Europe in the implementation of the guidelines for youth work in Ukraine and the use of the tool - Youth Welfare Index for monitoring the youth policy and strategy implementation. Attention is paid to the feasibility of using a two-component approach in the implementation of state youth policy, in particular in achieving the strategy, namely achieving sustainable development goals through the implementation of youth policy and the implementation of state youth policy through sustainable development goals.
