I welcome the political agreement reached on the European Social Fund Plus today because it invests in people. The crisis has put young people, children and vulnerable communities especially at risk. We must put our energy into social inclusion: it is more crucial than ever.

😀Today, ENSIE is attending Eurodiaconia round table on « Tackling youth unemployment in Europe- placing young people at the centre » at the European Parliament.

It is crucial to ensure that the #YouthGuarantee stays a priority for #MemberStates to face the current crisis!

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️Did we learn nothing over the past 10 yrs?

No/low quality/remuneration are 2 of the biggest issues with the #YouthGuarantee too.

Make it compulsory for employers to pay, through their own budgets or with EU funds.

Let’s make 2022 the 🇪🇺 Year of Youth RIGHTS, yes?
