Slovenia's National Youth Programme
The National Youth Programme (NYP) is a horizontal guideline aimed at coordinating actions and policy strategies regarding the youth sector at national level. It is an independent strategy. Its scope is inter-jurisdictional, meaning that the NYP aims at guiding other ministries in developing legislation which ensures protection and fostering of the youth sector. The procedure for the NYP is determined by the Public Interest Act on the Youth Sector (ZIJMS) and the Youth Council Act.The Programme is based on the Youth 2010 Study. The objectives of the NYP are in line with the European Youth Strategies. The NYP aims to provide better educational opportunities for young Slovenians, with formal and non-formal training and to better young people’s competences and chances of employment. It aims to foster mobility abroad of young people and to improve quality of employment and better work-life balance.
