Idea

Voice of the young

The Polish Presidency of the EU Council is a unique opportunity to strengthen the voice of the younger generation in shaping the future of Europe.

The Youth Forum, a group of 12 young leaders aged 16-25, was established with this in mind. The Forum enables real inclusion of young people in decision-making processes, while promoting civic values, participation and solidarity.

Europe in dialogues

This initiative:

  • emphasizes Poland's commitment to building an open, innovative and inclusive Europe,
  • fosters transatlantic dialogue and cooperation among the younger generation of leaders between Europe and the United States,
  • creates space for a young voice in European politics.

The network of the future

At the end of the Polish presidency, the Youth Forum will pass the symbolic "baton" to the youth of the next presiding country. This will be an act of continuity of intergenerational dialogue and cooperation between member states.

This gesture will become the foundation:

  • Building a network of young leaders in Europe,
  • space to share experiences, joint projects and shape the policies of the future,
  • a lasting legacy of the presidency, rooted in the values of unity and shared responsibility.
