This activity will get you connected to digital platforms and peer networks to actively engage in European affairs and make sure your voice is amplified in shaping Europe’s future.
With digital dialogue platforms and youth peer networks, you can connect with other young people and EU decision-makers from anywhere. By using these tools, you can influence policies that affect you and ensure that young people’s ideas are at the heart of European discussions.
First, get inspired!
Take a look at how young people from across Europe came together for a two-day event filled with activities and workshops, during which participants successfully turned their ideas into action, creating an impact on their communities and Europe by expressing their rights and demands.
Inspired for more? Delve into how young people participated in COP26 in Glasgow to discuss the dangers and urgency of climate change. The younger generation is deeply concerned about the environmental impact on society, so they are raising their voices and demanding their rights.
Now, take action!
You’ll be more heard through connecting to both digital platforms and peer networks where you can engage in real-time discussions, contribute to EU consultations, and collaborate with peer young people across Europe to influence EU policies.
- Follow European youth peer networks and dialogue activities: Choose a peer network and a digital platform, for example the European Youth Forum, Young European Ambassadors, EuroPeers and similar. Follow their activities on Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin or Instagram, and participate in at least one online discussion or event.
- Join online consultations hosted by EU institutions where your input can help shape EU policies. Whether it’s about youth employment, sustainability, or digital rights, your voice can influence real decisions.
- Lead a digital discussion with your peers: Take what you’ve learned and lead an online discussion with your friends or youth group about a key issue affecting young people in Europe. Use social media, messaging apps, or peer network platforms to get your friends involved. Organise and moderate an online discussion with your peers on a specific EU topic, and reflect on how youth voices can shape policies.
