Eurobarometer survey on sport and physical activity

According to a survey commissioned by the European Commission, 59% of

European Union citizens never or seldom exercise or play sport, while 41% do so at

least once a week. Northern Europe is more physically active than the South and

East: 70% of respondents in Sweden said they exercise or play sport at least once

a week, just ahead of Denmark (68%) and Finland (66%), followed by the

Netherlands (58%) and Luxembourg (54%). At the other end of the scale, 78%

never do so in Bulgaria, followed by Malta (75%), Portugal (64%), Romania (60%)

and Italy (60%). The survey shows that local authorities in particular could do more

to encourage citizens to be physically active. While 74% of respondents believe that

local sport clubs and other providers provide sufficient opportunities for this, 39%

think their local authorities are not doing enough. The survey was carried out in the

28 Member States of the European Union between 23 November and 2 December

2013. Nearly 28 000 respondents from different social and population groups took

part in the poll.

Youth Knowledge Book: The history of youth work in Europe - Volume 4

Since 2008, the European Union-Council of Europe youth partnership has regularly

organised debates and discussions on the history of youth work policy and practice

in various countries in Europe. The results have been published in three volumes of

the Youth Knowledge Series. The history of youth work in Europe covers the 2011

workshop in Tallinn, which was co-organised by the Estonian authorities with the

support of Finnish and Flemish partners, and sums up the discussions in the

previous three volumes.

First Youth Information centre in

Vilnius, Lithuania

Lithuania’s first Youth Information

Centre was inaugurated on 1st April

2014. The centre is located in

Konstitucijos pr. 3 and is a unit of

Vilnius Municipality. Young people are

welcome during week days from 2 till

6 pm and they can also write an e-

mail: jaunimas@vilnius.lt.

Centre staff will provide information in

12 major themes including youth

volunteering, work, studies, leisure

time, psychological and social

assistance, international mobility. This

centre is set up by an initiative of the

Youth Affairs Department, in

cooperation with the Lithuanian Youth

Council (LiJOT).

The establishment of the youth

information and counselling structure

has been initiated in 2011 by the

Lithuanian Youth Council, with the

support of Department of Youth

Affairs under the Ministry for Social

Security and Labour.

“Our road to the start of the youth

information had not been possible

without the help and expertise of our

partners - European Youth

Information and Counselling Agency

(ERYICA) and national coordinators of

youth information in Austria, Estonia,

Finland, France and Germany”, said

Evaldas Rupkus, LiJOT’s coordinator of

Eurodesk Lithuania.

The Eurodesk network has been the

starting point for the Lithuanian

generalist youth information and

counselling with its channels and

resources. LiJOT has been

coordinating the Eurodesk programme

in Lithuania for 10 years.

10-12 March 2014: EU Youth

Conference Joint

Recommendations

The EU Youth Conference, hosted by

the Greek Presidency in Thessaloniki,

was one of the milestones of the

structured dialogue process, the

forum for continuous joint reflection

on the priorities, implementation and

follow-up of European cooperation in

the youth field. It was the third one

within the Trio Presidencies (Ireland,

Lithuania and Greece), focusing on

the theme of youth entrepreneurship

to foster social inclusion of young

people. Young representatives and

policy-makers from all over Europe

came up with a list of

Recommendations that can serve as a

basis for possible inclusion in policy

documents to be progressed through

the EU Council of Youth Ministers and

a Council Resolution on the overview

of the structured dialogue process.

Seven thematic areas, drawn from the

results of national consultations

provided by 28 Member States and 10

International Non-Governmental

Organisations, were explored at the

EU Youth Conference via joint

workshops sessions. The

recommendations agreed are based

around seven themes, drawn from the

consultations of young people and

policy-makers across the EU prior to

the conference.

EPSCO Council adopted Quality

Framework for Traineeships

On 10th March, the EU's Council of

Ministers adopted the Quality

Framework for Traineeships enabling

trainees to acquire high-quality work

experience under safe and fair

conditions, and to increase their

chances of finding a good quality job.

The Council Recommendation on a

Quality Framework for Traineeships in

particular calls on Member States to

ensure that national law or practice

respect the principles set out in the

guidelines, and to adapt their

EURODESK BRUSSELS LINK BULLETIN APRIL 2014

10

legislation where necessary. The

Commission will now carefully monitor

the implementation of the Quality

Framework in all Member States.

Traineeships are a key element of the

Youth Guarantee proposed by the

European Commission in December

2012 and adopted by the EU's Council

of Ministers in April 2013. Currently

one in three traineeships is

substandard with regard to working

conditions or learning content,

according to a November 2013

Eurobarometer survey. Many of these

substandard traineeships are used by

employers to replace entry-level jobs.

The guidelines will increase

transparency with regard to

traineeship conditions, for example by

requiring that traineeships be based

on a written traineeship agreement.

The agreement should cover learning

content (educational objectives,

supervision) and working conditions

(limited duration, working time, clear

indication whether trainees will be

paid or otherwise compensated and

whether they will qualify for social

security). Traineeship providers will

be asked to disclose in the vacancy

notice whether the traineeship will be

paid. By setting common quality

standards for traineeships, the Quality

Framework for Traineeships will

support the implementation of Youth

Guarantee schemes by Member

States. It will also encourage more

transnational traineeships and help

the extension of EURES to

traineeships, as requested by the

European Council in its June 2012

Conclusions. The Framework does not

cover traineeships that form part of

university degree or that are

mandatory to access a specific

profession.
