    AI: What changed Written by AI from the official text — check the source

    The new version broadens the strategy's scope to digital skills, media literacy, online protection and citizenship education, and adds calls on enforcing the Digital Services Act and the Audiovisual Media Services Directive. It expands youth mainstreaming and the youth check, asking for implementation in every directorate-general, a published methodology, a stronger EU Youth Coordinator mandate and a Parliament-wide approach. It adds measures on employment, housing, mental health, health, rural and remote youth, inclusion, traineeships, entrepreneurship and intergenerational fairness, and reworks the recitals accordingly. The other changes are formal: citations are added and the forwarding instruction is updated.
