Council of Europe- Youth
The principle of youth participation finds its full expression in a system of co-management through which the Council of Europe develops its youth policy. Representatives of non-governmental youth bodies and government officials sit together in committees which set priorities for the youth sector and make proposals for the budget and programme. These proposals are then adopted by the Committee of Ministers, the Council of Europe's decision-making body. | Go to website |

While acknowledged as being the future, the majority of young people believe their voices have little or no impact in society. Thousands of youth organizations have been created, but there is inefficient sharing of information between them, resulting in duplication of effort. GYAN provides the necessary framework for international collaboration and cooperative youth-adult partnerships.
