Youth Influence on EU Foreign Policy

The upcoming European Youth Week 2026 will take place from April 24 to May 1, 2026, in Brussels. This event aims to unite young people across Europe under the theme of “Solidarity and Fairness.” An estimated 1,000 participants will gather at the European Parliament for the kickoff event, co-organized by the European Commission and the Parliament.
Youth Influence on EU Foreign Policy
The European External Action Service is facilitating the participation of young multipliers from around the world. These young leaders will share their perspectives on shaping international policymaking. Their involvement aims to highlight the vital role youth play in EU foreign policy.
Join the Conversation
Young individuals passionate about the EU and social media are encouraged to engage. A survey is available for youths to voice their opinions, helping to steer future EU initiatives towards increased youth participation in foreign action. Each response contributes significantly to integrating youth views into EU policymaking.
Engagement Opportunities
- Participate in the upcoming survey to express your ideas.
- Join the community of young changemakers.
- Take part in direct dialogues with EU leaders.
Notable events include a dialogue focused on EU foreign policy set to occur later this year in Montenegro, featuring Kaja Kallas. This initiative is part of ongoing efforts to empower youth voices in shaping the future of EU external relations. By participating, young people can play an essential role in directing EU policies in a way that reflects their perspectives and needs.
