The current version of the Youth in Action Programme Guide is replaced by a new version which will be valid as of 1 January 2010. The Programme Guide is a tool for anybody who would like to participate in the Youth in Action Programme. It includes the necessary information about the priorities, actions and main features of the Programme as well as the criteria and conditions on how to participate.

Annual priorities of the Youth in Action Programme are aimed at better defining the context of implementation of the Programme by clarifying the scope of the permanent priorities (promoting young people’s European citizenship, active participation in democratic life, cultural diversity and the inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities) and by better anchoring the Programme to topical issues at European level. In 2010 priority will be given to project proposals taking into account one or more of the following priorities:

• European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion
• Youth unemployment and promotion of young unemployed people’s active participation in society
• Awareness-raising and mobilization of young people around global challenges (such as sustainable development, climate change, migrations, the Millennium Development Goals).
