The event aims to:

• address and explore the impact of Covid-19 on youth transitions to autonomy, including, but not limited to: transition from education to employment, from being sustained by their families/care institutions to financial and economic independence in a new household, from being to having children/forming a family;
• reflect on how to adapt traditional youth policy and youth work approaches in supporting active participation of young people, their engagement with societal concerns such as anti-racism, environment and climate change, precariousness and inequalities, as well as (re)defining connections and community;
• contextualise youth transitions in the context of Covid-19 but also other crises impacting transitions to adulthood (e.g. economic, financial, mental health, etc.);
• examine and reflect on policy measures needed to support young people in their transitions to adulthood;
• share good practices of effective and successful youth policy interventions in the context of youth transitions and the impact of Covid-19;
• connect actors working on these themes, from within and beyond the youth sector, to continue, develop or innovate in relation to that work.
