EUROPEAN FORUM OF YOUNG LEADERS

Conference – Symposium – Forum / 24-27 April 2022 | Katowice, Poland

4-day hybrid conference in Katowice, Poland for young European leaders from the EU and neighbouring countries with panel discussions and thematic sessions on different important aspects of European youth cooperation.

Russia’s aggression against democratic Ukraine threatens European values. In this challenging time, we see a great need for bringing together young leaders of the civil society to reflect together on the role of youth in Europe.

European Forum of Young Leaders will provide space for participants from the European Union, Western Balkans, Eastern Europe and Caucasus to reflect on the current political situation, share experience and establish new contacts. A special focus will be put on the situation of the Ukrainian youth. Other themes of the Forum will include the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the European Youth Strategy 2019-2027 as well as thematic priorities of the EU Youth Programmes 2021-2027 including inclusion and diversity, digital transformation, environment and the fight against climate change and participation in democratic life.

European Forum of Young Leaders accompanies European Economic Congress:
