Conclusions of the European Youth & Sport Platform 2023
Since 2022 ENGSO Youth has been reaffirming itself as a fundamental stakeholder with an increasingly significant impact in engaging, connecting and empowering young people across Europe within the sport sector.
Our mission is to give Youth a real say in Sport and provide spaces where young leaders can gather and find joint solutions to our challenges. That was also the aim of our first ever European Youth and Sport Platform (#EYSP2023) which was held in Stockholm, Sweden, on 1-4 June 2023.
The European Youth and Sport Platform is ENGSO Youth’s flagship event and main contribution to the legacy of the European Year of Youth 2022, striving to build and consolidate a youth-friendly democratic space to ensure the youth voices are continuous, permanently and effectively represented in the European Union.
The Platform gathered around 100 young leaders engaged in the youth and sport sectors from across Europe, to discuss three main topics identified at the EU level, by the EU Youth Strategy 2019-2027 and the Swedish Presidency of the Council ofthe EU, as priorities for the Youth and Sport sectors, namely: Good Governance: Youth in Action! Digitalisation and Sport Sustainability in Sport.
The present document puts forward the voices and ideas of the young participants in a set of recommendations to be addressed to decision-makers and youth and sport stakeholders at all levels.
We strongly encourage the EU, its Member States, and the Youth and Sport Stakeholders to join efforts in addressing the recommendations hereby issued by the Young representatives.
