EU Youth Conference Joint Conclusions "Young People’s access to rights”

EU Youth Conference Joint Conclusions "Young People’s access to rights”


The EU Youth Conference, hosted by the Italian Presidency in Rome (Italy) from 13th to 16th October, brought together 180 delegates, young people and policy makers, from all the EU Member States. The conference kicked off the updated format of the structured dialogue (a formal process whereby young people all over Europe feed into EU youth policy).

In order to enhance a continuous dialogue between policy-makers and young people, the three EU Youth Conferences of the IV cycle will focus on the common overall theme of «Youth Empowerment for Political Participation».

Participants drafted the guiding framework that sets a common understanding on “youth empowerment of political participation” and adopted the guiding questions on which the consultations will be carried out.

  Joint recommendations on “young people’s access to rights” were also drawn up and will feed into Council Conclusions to be adopted in December 2014 by the Italian presidency.
