Reporting positive contribution of volunteering to the SDGs
Paragraph 1, page 55
The citizenship and participation of young people is a central aspect of public policies that boost demand, in qualitative and quantitative terms, i.e. increasing participation, but also reducing inequality in access to rights for full social inclusion: the programmes and projects involving leisure activities for young people, youth volunteering, knowledge and experience of democratic institutions, in addition to the focus on young people, generally allow access to youth who usually do not have the same economic and social opportunities, such as Youth Parliament, the Euroschool, the Programme for Occupation of Free Time, Holiday on the Move, the Programme Without Borders, the Agora Nós (Us Now, youth volunteering), or the International Work Camps.
