Representing Europe’s youth
We are the voice of young people in Europe, standing up for their rights and striving for societies where young people are empowered and are encouraged to achieve their fullest potential as global citizens.
Our latest actions
More Erasmus = More Europe
To reach all young people in Europe, we need five times the current Erasmus+ funding in the EU budget 2028-2034. We need to improve the programme to make it more accessible, efficient, and impactful in empowering young people and shaping a stronger future for our society.
Affordable housing
Sky-rocketing rents, insecure rental contracts, surging house prices and a shortage of publicly owned homes paint a sad picture. Our housing system is broken and young people shouldn’t have to put up with it any longer!

Open letter: Don't cut young people out
Young people deserve dedicated spaces for learning, mobility, and solidarity beyond classrooms. Diluting or merging Erasmus+ and the European Solidarity Corps risks leaving many behind. On Friday 27/05/2025 we sent a letter to call for a strong youth chapter, an independent ESC, and five times more funding. Young people's future must keep moving forward, not backwards. Europe should not cut costs on young people.
