Last semester I proposed a few idea based around youth unemployment in Europe. I came up with two ideas, one based around giving young people the information they need to find a job, and the other was to help young people better manage their finances.

The problem with this was that came up with these ideas first and then did research around the topic to support my ideas. This resulted in my ideas not being as fully fleshed out as they could be. I still think they are good ideas, I just think they need more development before they can be reconsidered.

With that in mind, I will be following the same topic I chose last year, this being the European Youth Award category “Money Matters”, and look deeper into this topic. I am researching youth unemployment in Europe, what may be causing it, and what effects it is having on each individual country and Europe as a whole. The majority of my research will be going on to my Padlet, but I will be summarising the findings of this research here.
