We often see politicians and decision-makers referring to youth as our future. The truth is, we are here right at this moment! To support our young people, we must act now.

The European Year of Youth has to go beyond promotional activities and bring a positive and long-lasting impact on young people's lives, today and in the future.

The EU declared 2022 the European Year of Youth as a recognition of the sacrifices that young people have made during the pandemic. It is an important milestone in acknowledging young people’s expectations, rights, and needs. Embedding real change requires legislation that specifically helps young people where they need it the most.

That's why we will push for creating sustainable and positive policy changes #ForYouthRights on your behalf. Follow us on our journey to achieve what young people want. So what is it?
