Urgent motion on deepening democratic crisis and the systematic suppression of youth-led mobilisation in Türkiye
In recent months, Türkiye has seen a sharp rise in authoritarianism, threatening democracy, rights, and rule of law. Youth-led movements face arrests, censorship, and violence. Read the urgent motion to find out more about the situation and learn about our key demands.
Time to tackle eco-anxiety
Many young people feel uncertain about their role in tackling the climate crisis, often disconnected from the impact of personal actions. As eco-emotions rise with climate change, the European Youth Forum calls for action that empowers young people and addresses the emotional toll. Read the motion to learn more.

The EU faces a ‘lack-of-reform fatigue,’ not just ‘enlargement fatigue,’ limiting its capacity to grow. Delayed reforms and politically motivated vetoes have stalled accession talks, harming youth in candidate countries by excluding them from EU opportunities. Read the motion to find out what we are calling for.
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.

This motion promotes equality by combating language discrimination, fostering inclusion, and affirming that European integration must respect all cultures and languages equally.
