(7) On 21 November 2001 the Commission adopted a White Paper on "A new impetus for European youth", which proposes a cooperation framework in the field of youth to focus on participation, information, voluntary activities and a greater understanding of young people. The European Parliament adopted these proposals in its resolution of 14 May 2002 .

The aim of this action is to organise dialogue between the various actors in the field of youth, in particular the young people themselves, youth workers and policymakers, to contribute to the development of policy cooperation in the youth field and to take the necessary steps and establish the networks necessary to better understand youth.

It identifies a "Greater understanding and knowledge of youth" and of the realities which concern young people at European level, as one of four priority themes for European co-operation in the field of youth policy.

The open method of coordination in the field of youth allows EU countries to cooperate with a view to sharing best practice on participation by young people, information for young people, voluntary activities and a greater knowledge of the field of youth, while respecting the areas of responsibility set out in the Treaties.

4. Considers the open method of coordination proposed by the Commission to be an appropriate way of improving cooperation at European level in the specific field of youth policy, and agrees with the Commission that it should initially be applied in the areas of participation, information, voluntary service and greater understanding of youth;

Of the various subjects regarded as being proper to the youth field, and which are suited to the open method of coordination as described above, the European Commission proposes participation, voluntary service, information, improving the public authorities' awareness of young people's concerns, and more generally any other subject which might contribute to the development and recognition of activities on the youth front (e.g. youth work, youth clubs, street work, projects to foster a sense of citizenship, integration, solidarity among young people, etc.) for the part which is not covered by other political processes such as employment, ...[+++]social integration and education.
