What is Structured Dialogue?

Young voices is part of ‘Structured Dialogue,’ a European programme which makes sure the opinions of young peopleand youth organisations are taken into account when youth-related policies are being developed in the EU. Structured Dialogue brings together young people and policy-makers across the EU to jointly discuss and feed into youth policy at national and European level.

How Structured Dialogue works

The structured dialogue programme is carried out in work cycles of 18 months, eachfocusing on one topic, which is discussed by young people and policy-makers in allEU Member States. The results of these discussions form the basis for the joint debatesbetween young people and Ministry representatives from all EU Member States at theEU Youth Conferences, organised by each Presidency every six months. More info at www.youth.ie/youngvoices
