Supporting youth information: Combating disinformation and bridging the divide between formal education and non-formal education
Youth information is a branch of non-formal education which seeks to uphold the right of young people to full and reliable information. It helps them to make informed choices and promotes their autonomy, their ability to think critically and their active participation in society. Across Europe, we are seeing a clear issue arising in the form of disinformation. Read the motion to find out what we are calling for.
Addressing linguistic discrimination in youth international mobility and participation
Language barriers limit young people's, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, access to rights, public life, and international opportunities. This motion promotes equality by combating language discrimination, fostering inclusion, and affirming that European integration must respect all cultures and languages equally.
Non-EU European countries' inclusion in Erasmus+
As youth organisations, we highly appreciate the Erasmus+ programme. However, currently, many countries in Europe that share these principles do not fully benefit from the opportunities offered by Erasmus+.
The future is Erasmus: more funding for Erasmus+
The mid-term review of the current Erasmus+ Programme (2021-2027) set to be published in July 2025, provides a critical opportunity to reflect on the programme’s successes and challenges while preparing for the next phase. In light of this, the European Youth Forum and its members must actively campaign for a significantly increased budget for Erasmus+ under the next MFF.
50 years of resistance, occupation and human rights violations in Western Sahara
As the Western Sahara conflict nears its 50th year, the UN urges a just political solution based on international law. The European Youth Forum calls for renewed support, highlighting it as Africa’s last unresolved decolonisation case.
A new architecture for youth social rights
The European Pillar of Social Rights is the guiding compass of all European social and employment policies. Despite its shortcomings, it remains a positive initiative which should be kept and strengthened. Read our policy paper to find out what we recommend.
