1. Background
Towards
2030 - Reaching out to,
working with, and supporting young people, will cover the
period 2021 to 2030 and focuses on all young people aged 13 to 30. It is a policy that is based on
building on the success of the past five years while focusing on the challenges
and opportunities that lie ahead.
The
policy is embedded in related national policies as well as in European and
international youth policies. It
will complement National Policies in related fields such as Education,
Employment, Justice and Health that impact on the lices of young people. It
seeks to be flexible and innovative - ranging from the local to the national
and from the national to the European and the global. It aims to support and
encourage young people, both as individual and citizens, in schools and other
educational and training institutions, in work, in the community and through social media. Empowering
young people through the effective
practice of youth work, including the digitalisation of youth work; regional and locally-based centres
and supports; national programmes, projects and initiative and cross-sectoral
initiatives with the voluntary, state and private sectors, are central to its
vision.
Towards
2030 sets out six strategic
goals and accompanying actions that will be implemented over the period
2021-2030. Overarching responsibility for implementing Towards 2030 will rest with the Ministry
for Education and Employment and the Parliamentary Secretary for Sport, Youth
and Voluntary Organisations, while Aġenzija Żgħażagħ will be responsible for
strategic planning, implementation and day-to-day operational matters.
This Document seeks to ensure that all those
people, groups and organisations that work for and with young people have the
opportunity to actively participate and contribute to its development and
implementation.
