Representing Youth is an EU funded project supporting young people’s engagement in global agendas. The project aims to strengthen the representativeness of youth delegate programmes.
Youth delegates are representatives who raise the voice of young people in decision-making processes, typically in United Nations meetings as part of their national delegation. Youth delegate programmes are a way to amplify youth voices in international organisations. Representing Youth supports youth delegates in engaging with other young people and decision makers in their national contexts.
Results of this project will include practical guidelines for youth delegate programmes to use in designing and organising national youth consultations. Expected outcomes of the project also include increased awareness of youth delegate programmes among young people and decision-makers as well as more opportunities for young people to engage with global agendas in the project partner countries.
The project is a collaboration between the National Youth Councils of Finland, Denmark, and Austria. The project period is from July 2024 to December 2025.
