Forthcoming policy developments

While not single discrete programmes exclusively labelled as youth work initiatives, the following strategic policy frameworks supported by Greek public authorities provide a broader basis for youth work activities aimed at social inclusion, often implemented through local authorities and civil society partners:

a) National Strategy for the Social Inclusion of Roma 2021–2030

Type: National action framework for social inclusion interventions.
Timeframe: 2021–2030
Description: Coordinated by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, this national strategy and its corresponding action plan include a range of inclusive measures addressing education, employment, social participation and empowerment of Roma communities. Among the target groups are children and young Roma, NEETs and those outside education and employment. The strategy envisages targeted actions that often involve community-based youth work interventions to promote inclusion, reduce discrimination and strengthen participation in social life.
Main outcomes: Programme implementation across thematic areas, including youth inclusion within the Roma population; interventions embedded in local action plans.
Target groups: Roma communities including children and young people, Roma NEETs and other vulnerable groups.
