Youth Recommendations
This report represents the voice of the UK youth sector and sets out key recommendations for the future of EU-UK relations in the youth field. The picture is clear: young people and youth organisations in the UK want a closer relationship with the EU. They want to connect and work together more, and they see the value of this for the country, for their organisations and for the lives and concerns of young people.
The report has been informed by a consultation with 120 youth organisations and young people across the UK, as well as with sector experts and with the support of our Youth Advisory Board. Youth organisations from across the EU also took part in the consultation, contributing their perspectives and supporting the final recommendations.
Network of EU/UK Youth Organisations
A network of UK and EU youth organisations was one of the key recommendations from the Stronger Together consultation of 120 youth organisations in the UK primarily and the EU. Its establishment would respond to demand from the youth sector as a practical, effective way of supporting ongoing EU-UK dialogue and an opportunity to connect the many networks, organisations and groups in the UK and EU. The Terms of Reference (TORs) set out the initial working arrangements for the proposed EU-UK network of youth organisations.
