Promotion of Labour Mobility in Europe #PLME16 | Page 2

PROJECT MAIN DESCRIPTION
EU youth strategy 2010-18 foreseen creation of more and equal opportunities in education and
the labour market, as well as the promotion of active citizenship, social inclusion and
solidarity. European Union and European integration offer many mechanism and
opportunities to unemployed young people on different levels and fields all over Europe.

At the same time, our organisations identified many obstacles young people face once they
start thinking about moving to another member state or region in order to find a job. It is
hard to say what is more complicated for young European, to start his own enterprise or
move to another place and find employment.
