The country reports prepared for this study paint a picture where youth work is, in many countries, an important element of the social fabric, in particular at a local level. Organisations delivering youth work (be it in the field of leisure or more socially oriented ones) play an important role in creating contacts among people and in turn supporting social cohesion. They do so next to schools, administrations, cultural, religious or other bodies as well as informal spaces. They provide a space for people to meet and exchange.

This report was developed between August 2012 and October 2013. During this period, the research team: • carried out a review of what is already known and what gaps exist in knowledge on the topic of youth work in the EU; • created a typology of different youth work activities across the EU; • mapped the national context of youth work in each Member State through an examination of definitions, legal frameworks, the situation of youth workers, the role and value of youth work and the impact (this was completed in January 2013 and thus reflects the situation as of then); • held a seminar with stakeholders to share knowledge and expertise and discuss the preliminary results of the study; • carried out case studies with youth work initiatives and activities exploring the stories behind their success.
