What is the Youth Sounding Board?
The Youth Sounding Board (YSB) is a group of young people who advise the Commissioner and the Directorate-General for International Partnerships (DG INTPA) on youth participation and empowerment in EU external action. This allows young people to have an influence on EU external action and international partnerships and thereby contributes to make EU action more participatory, relevant and effective for young people in EU partner countries, across all political priorities:
- Climate, environment and energy
- Digital and infrastructure
- Gender equality
- Human development
- Migration and forced displacement
- Peace and governance
- Sustainable growth and jobs
How does Youth Sounding Board work?
Through their work, YSB members represent the views of as wide a range of young people as possible, by reaching out to young people within and beyond their networks to gather their opinions and views.
