Youth Sounding Board for International Partnerships

The Youth Sounding Board is a space for young people to advise the European Commission on youth participation and empowerment in EU external action, with a focus on environment and political action. It consists of 25 members who contribute to implementation and dissemination of the EU Youth Action Plan and participate in capacity-building activities related to their mandate. The board meets several times a year, with meetings held in Brussels and online, and members commit to a two-year term, approximately 25 days per year, on an unpaid basis though travel and related expenses are covered.

Travel and related expenses covered; participation in capacity-building activities; opportunities to engage with EU external action policy and networks.

Eligible participants are young people aged 18-30, with nationality or residence in eligible regions, who can commit to the two-year mandate and about 25 days per year; applicants may apply individually or be nominated by an organisation.
