The EU Youth Conferences bring together EU Youth Delegates and political decision-makers – e.g. representatives from the youth ministries of the EU Member States holding the trio presidency or representatives of the European Commission and the European Parliament. Together and on an equal footing they discuss the demands and wishes of young people in the EU.

Political decision-makers can then incorporate these demands and wishes in their political decisions and feed them e.g. into Council documents. In this way, European and national policies can be better shaped in the interests of young people and youth participation can be strengthened.
