Throughout the public policy debate, which took place on Tuesday afternoon, we were pleased to hear Youth Ministers recognising the role of young people in shaping the policies that affect them. Many Ministers credited the fundamental work of their National Youth Councils and called for more investment in youth organisations. The Youth Goals created during the EU Youth Conference in April were also explicitly acknowledged, reflecting their value for policymakers. We sincerely hope that they will be incorporated into the work on the future EU Youth Strategy and utilised in its implementation.<\/p>\n
The conclusions for youth\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Many crucial aspects for youth policy feature in the Council\u2019s adopted conclusions, including cross-sectoral cooperation, evidence based policy making and youth participation and dialogue.
