Practical dimensions of youth policy implementation in Poland on the example of Europe4Youth Association

Abstract

This article aims to present the role and importance of youth policy and how youth organisations can practically implement it on a local and regional level, on the example of Association Europe4Youth (Kraków, Poland). Since youth work is not recognised formally as a profession, nor a function in Poland, those are non-governmental organisations that have enough space and freedom to explore various practices of youth work and advocate for youth policies, while collaborating with local, regional and national authorities.
