Better knowledge is one of the objectives of the EU Youth Strategy and there is a need to improve the delivery of information on the situation of young people in Europe and on national youth policies in a coherent, updated and more visible and exploitable way. The main objective of the Youth Wiki is to provide the involved countries, the Commission and other stakeholders with regular, updated information of youth policies and on the situation of young people in Europe. In particular, aiming at supporting major European-level commitments and policy developments for the fields of action identified in the EU Youth Strategy.The role of the Austrian National Correspondent is to contribute to the completion and the update of the Youth Wiki as set in the work programme 2022-23:WP 1: Implementation of the biannual work programmeWP 2: National promotional strategyWe’ll draw on the long-standing expertise of the Austrian Youth Information Centres in researching, preparing and communicating reliable, up-to-date, relevant, comprehensible and thus useful information and data on the topic of youth. At the same time, we’ll use our strong regional presence and the close cooperation with central actors at the federal, provincial and municipal levels to identify new piece of information (new laws, programmes, initiatives …) and to have our updates proofread by the respective experts. We’ll organise activities aimed at implementing the objectives included in our national promotion strategy. As we are part of several youth related networks and working groups, the target groups for our promotional activities are mostly various stakeholders in the youth sector and related sectors at federal, federal states/regional and local level. We’ll also try to inform young people on the Youth Wiki, in particular young people who are interested in youth policies and social impact.Furthermore, our Youth Wiki correspondent(s) will attend each Youth Wiki working meeting organised by the Agency.
