European youth conference

Culture, education and youth, Events/Conf/Fairs, Presidency of the Council of the EU

The European youth ministers have created a mechanism for consultation that allows them to stay in a continuous dialogue with young people covering the policies affecting them in particular: the structured dialogue.

This instrument consists of national consultations in the Member States and the European youth conferences. The final conference of the current cycle of dialogue (July 2014 – December 2015) will be held in Luxembourg.

Its purpose is to put forward a set of recommendations on the empowerment of young people for political participation.

These recommendations will be submitted to the youth ministers at the Council meeting in November 2015.
