description

The LIVE webinar will be an opportunity for a forward-looking debate on policy solutions for examining what works in youth interventions, particularly employment.

The discussion will take place against the background of the 2022 European Year for Youth and look at how EU decision-makers can put the young generation at the centre of EU policies and ensure that youth priorities are included across different policy areas at every level of the EU’s decision-making process. Participants are invited to engage in the LIVE debate via an online chat. The panellists will dig deep into issues such as young people’s expectations of the EU and the European Year of Youth and youth participation initiatives; Young people and trust in society as well as young people’s perceptions of the war in Ukraine; and the impact of COVID-19 on youth employment.
