Young people are not just the future, they are our present. That is why it is key to have a plan to support their participation, tailored to their needs, priorities and ambitions, which will contribute to the better development of our cities and regions. #EuropeanYearOfYouth #EYY

It is not enough to listen to what young people and their organisations have to say. We must create the conditions for younger generations to act, decide and raise their voice in the decision-making process. @lidiafopereira @EPPGroup #EuropeanYearOfYouth #EYY @EPP

Youth engagement must be guaranteed through concrete acts: the right to vote - at the age of 16 - for the members of the @europarl_en; the right to put forward citizens' initiatives and promote referenda. @tzitzikostas @EU_CoR #EuropeanYearOfYouth #EYY

We need the hope, the vision for the future, and the fresh mind of the youths to keep the European dream in the soul and mind of people. One concrete action we can promote is to lower the voting age for European elections to the age of 16. @DrenjaninJelena #EuropeanYearOfYouth

The Charter for Youth constitutes a clear step to address young peoples’ greatest demands: education, inclusion, employment, green & digital transition. But there is still a lot to be done and it is vital that youths takes part in the process! @Annazah7 #EuropeanYearOfYouth #EYY

In the aftermath of the economic crisis, the pandemic, the war & the energy crisis, the new generation of Europe is called upon to bring change & make 🇪🇺 a better place, by taking action both against social inequalities & for better opportunities. #NektariosKalantzis #EYY

The 🇪🇺 Region Tyrol - South Tyrol - Trentino is implementing 15 cross-border youth projects. As the #EuropeanYearOfYouth comes to an end, it is vital to continue focusing on young people with their concerns, worries, fears and needs, but also their potential. #SonjaLedlRossmann

The #EuropeanYearOfYouth was an opportunity to strengthen participatory & representative democracy. As part of the #EWRC the voice of youths of Harghita County was heard to identify the problems they face, but also to involve them in formulating solutions. @borbolycsaba @EU_CoR

This charter for Youth & Democracy is important but if we don’t transmit effective measures on the ground to allow young people to take an active role in democracy, it will not be successful. We need to make sure that young people believe in their future. @airespereira2 #EYY
