The Steering Group brings together youth representatives and key stakeholders involved in youth participation and the implementation of the strategy.</p> <p data-start="1585" data-end="1763">For the <strong data-start="1593" data-end="1614">2026–2027 mandate</strong>, six young people will be selected through an open call to join representatives of important Youth Participation Strategy stakeholders and partners.</p> <p data-start="1765" data-end="1800">These include representatives from:</p> <ul data-start="1802" data-end="1997"> <li data-section-id="kgklrf" data-start="1802" data-end="1827">The European Commission</li> <li data-section-id="gvnw1z" data-start="1828" data-end="1847">National Agencies</li> <li data-section-id="171ovb3" data-start="1848" data-end="1872">SALTO Resource Centres</li> <li data-section-id="ybf6it" data-start="1873" data-end="1890">The RAY Network</li> <li data-section-id="dxk5fx" data-start="1891" data-end="1930">European youth umbrella organisations</li> <li data-section-id="h29sb7" data-start="1931" data-end="1997">Other key Youth Participation Strategy stakeholders and partners</li> </ul> <p data-start="1999" data-end="2183">This structure provides young representatives with an opportunity to work alongside organisations and institutions involved in shaping and implementing youth participation initiatives.</p> <h2 data-section-id="15uxr41" data-start="2185" data-end="2222">Call for Six Youth Representatives</h2> <p data-start="2224" data-end="2387">SALTO Participation and Information Resource Centre is seeking <strong data-start="2287" data-end="2316">six youth representatives</strong> for the 2026–2027 Youth Participation Strategy Steering Group mandate.</p> <p data-start="2389" data-end="2594">The call is specifically aimed at young people who already have experience with Erasmus+ and/or the European Solidarity Corps and who are interested in strengthening youth participation in democratic life.</p> <p data-start="2596" data-end="2814">This is therefore an opportunity for young people who have moved beyond simply participating in youth programmes and have developed an understanding of youth participation, democratic engagement, or related activities.</p> <h2 data-section-id="rzi1jn" data-start="2816" data-end="2863">What Will Selected Youth Representatives Do?</h2> <p data-start="2865" data-end="3009">Becoming a member of the Steering Group involves contributing to the broader implementation and development of the Youth Participation Strategy.</p> <p data-start="3011" data-end="3099">According to the call, youth representatives will contribute to several important areas.</p> <h3 data-section-id="18pxjca" data-start="3101" data-end="3177">1. Support Monitoring and Evaluation of the Youth Participation Strategy</h3> <p data-start="3179" data-end="3376">One of the responsibilities of the Steering Group is to support the <strong data-start="3247" data-end="3375">full-term monitoring and evaluation of how the Youth Participation Strategy has been implemented during the 2021–2027 period</strong>.</p> <p data-start="3378" data-end="3556">This means representatives can contribute youth perspectives to discussions about how the strategy has been implemented and how its objectives and priorities are being addressed.</p> <p data-start="3558" data-end="3699">The participation of young representatives is particularly relevant because the strategy itself is focused on meaningful youth participation.</p> <h3 data-section-id="b6zk46" data-start="3701" data-end="3765">2. Promote Meaningful Youth Participation in Democratic Life</h3> <p data-start="3767" data-end="3883">Another important responsibility is promoting the implementation of <strong data-start="3835" data-end="3882">meaningful participation in democratic life</strong>.</p> <p data-start="3885" data-end="4045">Youth representatives will contribute to efforts to make youth participation an important priority within the Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps programmes.</p> <p data-start="4047" data-end="4231">The opportunity therefore connects youth participation with broader democratic engagement and encourages young people to play an active role in shaping the programmes that affect them.</p> <h3 data-section-id="9z65xx" data-start="4233" data-end="4292">3. Provide Advice on the Implementation of the Strategy</h3> <p data-start="4294" data-end="4427">Members of the Steering Group will also have the opportunity to <strong data-start="4358" data-end="4426">advise on the implementation of the Youth Participation Strategy</strong>.</p> <p data-start="4429" data-end="4517">This includes providing perspectives and input concerning the strategy&#8217;s priority areas.</p> <p data-start="4519" data-end="4700">The youth representatives can therefore contribute not only as participants but also as advisers whose experiences and perspectives can inform discussions about youth participation.</p> <h3 data-section-id="9nepqk" data-start="4702" data-end="4766">4. Contribute to Initiatives Supporting the Strategy&#8217;s Goals</h3> <p data-start="4768" data-end="4920">The selected representatives will also have the opportunity to <strong data-start="4831" data-end="4919">develop initiatives that contribute to the goals of the Youth Participation Strategy</strong>.</p> <p data-start="4922" data-end="5067">This provides space for representatives to move from discussion and advice toward practical contributions that support the strategy&#8217;s objectives.</p> <h2 data-section-id="11b5b62" data-start="5069" data-end="5131">Who Is SALTO Participation and Information Resource Centre?</h2> <p data-start="5133" data-end="5229">The call is organised by the <strong data-start="5162" data-end="5228">SALTO Participation and Information Resource Centre (SALTO PI)</strong>.</p> <p data-start="5231" data-end="5371">SALTO PI is involved in supporting youth participation and information-related work within the broader European youth programme environment.</p> <p data-start="5373" data-end="5547">For this particular call, SALTO PI is looking for young people who can bring practical experience and youth perspectives into the Youth Participation Strategy Steering Group.</p> <h2 data-section-id="ssopno" data-start="5549" data-end="5576">Eligibility Requirements</h2> <p data-start="5578" data-end="5669">The call identifies three key areas of experience and interest that applicants should have.</p> <h3 data-section-id="1mh80ai" data-start="5671" data-end="5690">Age Requirement</h3> <p data-start="5692" data-end="5711">Applicants must be:</p> <p data-start="5713" data-end="5736"><strong data-start="5713" data-end="5736">18 to 30 years old.</strong></p> <p data-start="5738" data-end="5820">This age requirement is specifically stated in the call for youth representatives.</p> <h3 data-section-id="42h5wm" data-start="5822" data-end="5883">Experience With Erasmus+ and/or European Solidarity Corps</h3> <p data-start="5885" data-end="5928">Applicants should have experience with the:</p> <ul data-start="5930" data-end="6004"> <li data-section-id="1p01bs4" data-start="5930" data-end="5962"><strong data-start="5932" data-end="5954">Erasmus+ programme</strong>, and/or</li> <li data-section-id="b2ejjo" data-start="5963" data-end="6004"><strong data-start="5965" data-end="6004">European Solidarity Corps programme</strong></li> </ul> <p data-start="6006" data-end="6112">Experience with one or both of these programmes is therefore an important part of the eligibility profile.</p> <p data-start="6114" data-end="6265">Applicants should be able to demonstrate how their previous involvement has given them an understanding of European youth programmes and participation.</p> <h3 data-section-id="hd8xqx" data-start="6267" data-end="6304">Experience in Youth Participation</h3> <p data-start="6306" data-end="6372">Applicants should also have experience in <strong data-start="6348" data-end="6371">youth participation</strong>.</p> <p data-start="6374" data-end="6400">This experience can be at:</p> <ul data-start="6402" data-end="6454"> <li data-section-id="1mk39kj" data-start="6402" data-end="6415">Local level</li> <li data-section-id="1e7m5kw" data-start="6416" data-end="6432">National level</li> <li data-section-id="136kh38" data-start="6433" data-end="6454">International level</li> </ul> <p data-start="6456" data-end="6598">The call does not limit applicants to one particular level of youth participation.

Meaningful participation involves creating opportunities for young people to contribute to decisions, initiatives, and processes that affect their lives and communities.</p> <p data-start="7720" data-end="7912">The YPS Steering Group provides a structure through which young representatives can contribute their experiences to discussions about youth participation at a broader European
