Supporting the Inclusion of INGYOs in the EU Youth Dialogue
International Non-Governmental Youth Organisations (INGYOs) are a crucial part of the European Union Youth Dialogue (EUYD). Together with the National Youth Councils (NYCs) they have been contributing to the largest decision-making mechanism in the European Union since the first cycle, feeding into the processes offered by the EUYD through their longstanding history and expertise on youth work and engagement.
While INGYOs offer many advantages and their contributions remain essential, their presence at EU Youth Dialogue conferences has noticeably diminished in recent years. This development raises concerns about the inclusivity and effectiveness of the dialogue process, as the absence of INGYOs could limit the diversity of perspectives and expertise in youth-related decision-making.
