ABOUT YOUTH DIALOGUE
The EU Youth Dialogue is the dialogue with young people and youth organisations involving policy and decision-makers, as well as experts, researchers, and other relevant civil society actors, as appropriate. It serves as a forum for continuous joint reflection and consultation on the priorities, implementation, and follow-up of European cooperation in the field of youth. It builds on the achievements of past dialogue processes, with the aim of including more decision-makers and young people, especially those with fewer opportunities in decision-making processes and in the implementation of the EU Youth Strategy. The EU Youth Dialogue is organized into 18-month work cycles. Each cycle focuses on a different thematic priority (set by the Council of Youth Ministers). The current thematic priority is “A Sustainable and Green Europe”, which is directly connected to Youth Goals number 3: Inclusive Societies and number 10 Sustainable Green Europe.
