Tired of feeling unheard? That’s changing
Recently, young people from all over the EU and beyond sat down for real, face-to-face talks with us and shared what’s on their minds.
Now, it’s your turn. The key takeaways are out, and we want your take.
These actions will literally help shape policies that impact young people across the EU.
What are Youth Policy Dialogues?
During the first 100 days of their term, each EU Commissioner sat down with groups of young people across the EU to talk about a wide variety of topics, ranging from housing and climate to skills and health.
Why does this matter?
The European Commission wants young people to have a real say in how our societies and democracies work. This is about making sure your voice counts in EU policies.
What happens during these dialogues?
Commissioners interact with and listen to young people’s perspectives – what’s working, what’s not, and what needs to change. It’s a chance to talk directly to decision-makers about the future you want to see.
