Network of Elected Officials – Call for Participants Opportunities

Published February 19, 2025

Are you an elected official at the local or regional level, committed to engaging young people in policy-making? Are you interested in connecting with like-minded policymakers from across Europe? Within the “Climbing the ladder—fostering a culture of youth engagement” (CL-YE) project, we invite you to apply for the Informal Network of Elected Officials, an initiative designed to foster exchange, collaboration, and policy innovation in the field of youth engagement.

With this initiative, we will create an informal yet impactful network of around 30 elected officials from different European countries, who share a strong commitment to inclusive governance and youth participation in decision-making processes.

The in-presence activity will take place in Strasbourg, France, from June 3 to 6, 2025.

Please find attached the call for participants to have more information about the activity. You can find the application form here.

The deadline to fill out the application is on the 4th of March 2025.
