To have a discussion on what is youth work approaches, deals with the new emerging topics. For example, how youth work approaches policy priorities that are changing (sustainability, green, digital, migration and etc.) and exchange with EC on what is a sector specific impact.

# data[].attributes.body
Awareness of NAUs in the roles of the NA's in implementing the EU Youth Programmes and EU Youth strategy needs support from the COM. Creating space for the dialogue and support to NA's now that the new programmes with new features and expectations to the NA's is good time for that. This dialogue needs sustainable upkeeping and support to even out the disparities between NA's and the support they get from the NAUs (recognition and financial support).

# data[].attributes.subject
Reconnecting the thematic SALTOs to the NA network

# data[].attributes.body
Recommendation for the NA network to look at how the SALTOs can be closer connected to the NAs' needs (eg. what can be their role in the SNACs), and also how the network can contribute more actively in feeding the SALTOs.

# data[].attributes.body
The new IT tools should only be implemnted and used when mproperly tested and supported, otherwise it is better to keep using the existing ones;
In addition all tools (webforms, EU login, websites, etc.) should be accessible for people with disablities ie. reading function, colourblind function, etc.

In the award criteria, it should be possible with transparant communication , to score for national priorities or targetgroups to facilitate their acces

# data[].attributes.body
NAs would engage into discussion with young people to understand what and why are the challenges for democratic crisis.
NAs need to have a common understanding of what is intended by Political Literacy and also discuss a pedagogical approach.

# data[].attributes.body
From the perspective of the youth field, cross-sectoral cooperation should be understood as being wider than between formal education and non-formal learning within the same programme. this explanation/definition should be in the programme guide
Recommendation to the commission
to provide funding and guiding rules to make the above possible.
Recommendation to the NAs
To communicate this and build strategies.
The cooperation could include sectors such as culture, sports, adult non-formal learning, social work etc
Cooperation with other programmes such as CERV, Horizon etc should be looked at.

In situations where there were other programs for unemployment, this segment was not as appealing.

# data[].attributes.body
NAs are not only fund providers. NA's role includes that as 'educators'. This calls for a discussion between NAUs and Commission to allow NAs to practice their role and this to be defined in the National Agency Guide.

# data[].attributes.body
IT tools should fit the needs and project formats of the youth field, take into account data privacy, data ownership and data access issues to support the needs and operations of the NAs

# data[].attributes.body
The adoption of a flexible framework within the programme and thus allow  NAs to adapt to issues just like in the time of COVID.

KA3 - ensure better link between policy and programmes by the NAs

# data[].attributes.body
Recommendation to the commission; adequate funding and procedures are needed in order for NAs to be able to continue the collaboration and use the lessons learned from the call KA3 and the TCA/NET/SP.
To let the TCA platform developed by the TCA WG as a communication tool and not as a management tool for TCA/NET. The communication platform would serve eg as website for the different SNACs.

# data[].attributes.body
Implementation of the programmes needs adequate funding for NAs to performe the 3 roles. This is adressed to the NAU and EC

# data[].attributes.body
If they are not merged, they should be linked in the budgeting, in order to allow the growth of budget in the light of E+ budget growth. Additionally to create more links to E+, and make the links between the programes more fluid
