The EU Youth Dialogue (EUYD) is the European participatory process which, through 18-month cycles on a priority theme, supports the implementation of the EU Youth Strategy and ensures the involvement of young people in the decision-making process in the field of youth in Europe through a dialogue between young people and decision-makers.
The 9th cycle of the EU Youth Dialogue – from 1 January 2022 to 30 June 2023 – takes place under the trio of France – Czech Republic – Sweden presidencies, coordinated by the European Steering Group (ESG) composed of representatives of the Commission European Union, the European Youth Forum and the presidencies of the Trio (representatives of ministries, representatives of the National Youth Council).
During the EUYC [European Youth Conference] in Prague, young European delegates shared their ideas and opinions on current challenges regarding European youth goals. They also had the opportunity to participate in discussions with policy makers, stakeholders and experts.
The MFRs (Rural Family Homes) brought together a working group that contributed informally to the event, comprised of young people from the MFR of Anneyron and the JAIM youth association in Prague at the CEJ (European Youth Conference). Séverine Origny Fleishman – head of the international relations office at the Directorate of Youth, Popular Education and Community Life (DJEPVA) and the Ministry of National Education and Youth – took the time to listen to the outcome of the discussions of this group of young people.
The group then joined the youth representatives of the structured dialogue in France [Provox], Belgium and Reunion to take stock of the exchanges of the conference and those of the informal group.
