Policy Programme European Youth Forum
The policy programme is the top-level policy document that defines the basis of the positions of the European Youth Forum. The aim is to drive our policy creation towards the collaborative development of this cohesive document as the main place of all our top-line stances.
The policy programme is a tool for members to democratically and holistically define, develop and update the key views of the European Youth Forum on what the world should look like. It is a concise public document that will help both the volunteers and staff in the Youth Forum, member organisations, new members and external stakeholders (including policy makers) understand what the European Youth Forum stands for.
