MalooseThey are the future of the EU, and yet many have labelled them "Europe's forgotten generation". At a time when youth unemployment figures are on the rise, what do young people want from the EU?
On 3-4 February, the EESC's two-day seminar entitled "A New Generation For A New Europe" will come up with practical proposals by young people on ways to fight unemployment, foster business opportunities for their generation and pool ideas on how to spend the €315 billion allocated to the EU investment plan. The seminar will take place at EESC, Rue Belliard/Belliardstraat 99, room JDE51.
The seminar will bring together 50 entrepreneurs, trade union representatives and social entrepreneurs under 35 years of age, as well as civil society organisations working in the fields of young people, employment and the business environment.
