The Eastern Partnership Youth Engagement Summit will this year take place virtually on 2-3 July. The event will bring together over 400 active youth leaders and youth workers from the Eastern Partnership region. Under the main thematic focus of ‘Youth engagement in the Eastern Partnership: exploring the present and navigating the future!', the Summit will be a unique opportunity for the young participants to exchange amongst themselves and with policy makers from the EU and the Eastern partner countries on achievements and challenges in the field of youth. For the first time, the summit will be held virtually due to coronavirus restrictions.

Neighbourhood and Enlargement Commissioner Olivér Várhelyi (pictured) said: “Empowering young people from the region is and will remain a priority for the EU - investing in youth is always the best investment. We will be launching a new deal for youth, where we will work together with the governments to ensure the skills the labour market needs. This will make youth competitive globally and allow them to find high quality jobs also regionally.”

The two-day programme will include panel discussions, presentations, webinars and parallel group discussions, with the aim of harvesting conclusions for building future opportunities for young people in the Eastern partner countries.

The summit can be followed online and more information can be found here.
