The NPiY Forum is an opportunity to discover the quality elements of youth participation and civic education! Building on efforts done by professionals in both formal and non-formal sectors, this event brings a cross-sectoral perspective.

Designed as a discovery journey, the Forum is open to national delegations (40 participants in total) that are interested in gaining new insights while also exploring the challenges and opportunities of cross-sectoral collaboration in their own local/national contexts. It further emphasises the opportunities offered by the EU Programmes to integrate active participation and democratic values into our work done in different sectors.
