Healthy Europe: confidence and uncertainty for young people in contemporary Europe
Collective
Council of Europe
Livre numérique
What is it like to be young in a Europe faced with conflict and austerity?
Volume 3 of the series Perspectives on youth focuses on “healthy Europe”, not
just in the narrow sense, but in the broader sense of what it is like to be
young in a Europe faced with conflict and austerity, and what it feels like to
be young as transitions become ever more challenging. The assumption when
planning this issue was that health in this broader sense remains a
controversial area within youth policy, where the points of departure of
policy makers, on the one hand, and young people themselves on the other are
often dramatically different; in fact, young people tend to interpret the
dominating discourse as limiting, patronising, maybe even offensive. The
question of health brings the old tensions between protection and
participation as well as agency and structure to the forefront. Not all
questions are addressed in detail but many are touched upon. It is,
intentionally, an eclectic mix of contributions, to provide a diversity of
argumentation and to promote reflection and debate. As has been the intention
of Perspectives on youth throughout, we have sought to solicit and elicit the
views of academics, policy makers and practitioners, presenting theoretical,
empirical and hypothetical assertions and analysis. Perspectives on youth is
published by the partnership between the European Union and the Council of
Europe in the field of youth in co-operation with, and with support from, four
countries: Belgium, Finland, France and Germany. Its purpose is to keep the
dialogue on key problems of child and youth policies on a solid foundation in
terms of content, expertise and politics. The series aims to act as a forum
for information, discussion, reflection and dialogue on European developments
and trends in the field of youth policy, youth research and youth work while
promoting a policy and youth work practice that is based on knowledge and
participatory principles. The editorial team of this volume is composed of 12
members representing the supporting countries, the Pool of European Youth
Researchers (PEYR), the co-ordinator of the youth policy reviews of the
Council of Europe, the EU-Council of Europe youth partnership and the
co‑ordinator of the editorial team.
