Conference on the Future of Europe

The Conference is a unique opportunity for the institutions to listen, to be bold, to enact real change and to improve the lives of young people across Europe!

Young people in particular have a huge stake in these discussions that will impact their current and future realities and the futures of generations of young Europeans to come. It is essential that their views are heard and acted upon during the Conference process and beyond the immediate lifetime of this exercise.

Our position paper outlines our main asks for the Conference. These are as follows:

• Meaningful, diverse youth participation continues throughout the Conference and in all future EU decision making;
• A binding legacy mechanism is enshrined in the Conference follow up to ensure institutional accountability for implementing the Conference recommendations;
• A Positive Youth Employment Journey is a priority theme factored into the recommendations for action coming out of the Conference process.
