The EU has designated 2022 to be the European Year of Youth.
It promises to give young people a stronger platform to make their voices heard especially when it comes to shaping policies at an EU, national and local level. There will be a special focus on young people with fewer opportunities and those dealing with mental health issues.
The idea of making 2022 youth-focused was originally put forward last September by the European Commission president Ursula Von der Leyen.
The head of the European Commission’s Representation in Ireland Barbara Nolan, explains why the EU boss wanted to make this year youth-focused.
