Ministers, sets out a framework for cooperation covering 2010-2018

Political background• Calls to increase youth participation from
all sides – young people, politicians, policy, decision-makers, and youth representatives
• Address negative perception amongst many young people that their inputs do not have any effect on policies and decisions – decreasing engagement
