From local youth councils to national consultations, all the way to online events where you can talk to EU decision-makers, this activity gives you the tools to make sure your voice is at the heart of it all.
Tune into a podcast where young activists from across Europe share their experiences of joining youth dialogues and getting their ideas into the spotlight.This is an example on how young people managed to present their rights and views in the COP26.
