The EU is serious about giving young people a seat at the table and making sure their voices are heard when it comes to building the future of Europe. Through the Youth Policy Dialogues, the EU is bringing young Europeans into the conversation, ensuring policies reflect what matters most to the next generation.
On March 4, 2025, in Brussels, Valdis Dombrovskis, the EU's Commissioner for Economy and Productivity; Implementation and Simplification, hosted his first Youth Policy Dialogue. This event focused on the economic priorities for the new European Commission mandate, giving young people a chance to share their views on a range of important issues that impact Europe’s future.
17 young Europeans from different countries participated in this exciting dialogue. They had the chance to ask questions, share ideas, and actively discuss key topics with Commissioner Dombrovskis.
And this is just the start! Over the next five years, regular youth dialogues will be organised to keep the momentum going and ensure young people continue to be part of EU decision-making.
