From the cost of living to climate change, young people in the EU are concerned about their future.

Through our EU #YouthTest, we work closely with youth representatives to include their perspectives & improve their participation.

1 year of our #YouthTest! 🎂

As the first EU institution to launch this tool, we:
✅ ensured youth perspectives are systematically included in our opinion-making;
✅ confirmed that meaningful youth participation is a cornerstone of European integration.

Congratulations to all the winners!

We are proud that our #YouthTest was recognised as a finalist for the @ombudsman.europa.eu Award. Co-created with the @youthforum.bsky.social, it has already enabled 80+ youth representatives to shape our work.

We will keep amplifying young people's voices.

Making EU laws youth proofed is powerful!💥

A year ago, we adopted the 'EU #YouthTest' methodology.

It lets youth representatives participate in the preparation of our recommendations by:
✅ joining meetings;
✅ providing written inputs;
✅ following the uptake of the opinion.
