Have you ever thought about what the lives of today’s young people look like? What would your life look like if you were attending high school, university, looking for a flat, an internship or your first job?

Today, 26 November 2018, the Education, Youth, Culture and Sport Council (EYCS Council), met to discuss key portfolios for youth in Europe that will shape the future of volunteering, youth work and education for the coming decade.

A significant number of the newly arrived to Europe are young people often unaccompanied minors. Many of them make dangerous journeys with the hope of finding a place where their future is not predetermined by deadly conflicts, but is yet to be written by them. However, reality offers a different picture.

The European Youth Forum’s Migration and Human Rights Network (MHRN) held its second meeting of 2017 on 16-17 November. The Network focuses on promoting social inclusion and empowerment of young refugees.
