The European Union aims to tackle social exclusion and poverty among young people through the realization of the full potential of youth work and youth centers, by addressing homelessness, housing and poverty, and providing support for young families. To reach these objectives, the EU chose to adopt a cross-sector approach, one that develops intercultural awareness and combats prejudices. Source:
