The European Youth Work Convention (EYWC) is the central platform for discussing the latest developments in youth work practice and youth policy in Europe. Professionals and multipliers from youth work practice, youth policy and youth research (the youth work community of practice) will come together here for the third time, on this occasion to kick off the implementation of the European Youth Work Agenda (EYWA).

Holding the 3rd EYWC in the digital space makes it special in the series of conventions. It offers the benefit of even wider outreach to achieve the necessary effect in communicating the EYWA for its successful and sustainable implementation. Under the changed circumstances due to the developments around the coronavirus pandemic, the digital Convention guarantees equal participation from all EU and Council of Europe member States. In addition, it provides the opportunity to show youth work as the brave, outside the box thinking, and modern field that it is.

The 3rd EYWC is hosted by the German Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth. JUGEND für Europa, the National Agency for the EU programmes Erasmus+ Youth in Action and European Solidarity Corps, is its partner in organising and developing the content of the event.
