Youth work centres of expertise

Youth work centres of expertise form a network supporting the implementation of the objectives set out in National Youth Work and Youth Policy Programme. The centres of expertise develop and promote competence, expertise and communications in the youth sector in accordance with the Youth Act.

Three centres were chosen for the programme period 2024-2027, focusing on the following themes:

• non-discrimination
• youth work in schools and educational institutions
• regional information on youth work

An annual appropriation may be included in the Budget to be allocated for the activities of the national youth work centres of expertise. The Ministry of Education and Culture approves the eligibility of the centres of expertise for state aid.
