The ‘Connecting the EU with Youth’ event brings together Members of the European Parliament, representatives of the European Union institutions, National Authorities, Youth organisations and other key stakeholders. This high-level event will provide a forum for dialogue on the role of youth participation in shaping the future of Europe. It will further seek to identify concrete measures to ensure that the European Union’s policies remain youth-centred, future-oriented, and effective in their implementation. The outcomes derived from the conference will be presented at the DG Youth meeting.
