Unfortunately the event can not take place in May 2020 and we are currently considering alternatives for postponing the event. This decision follows a recommendation of the Estonian Health Office from 10.3. to postpone all international events that are planned to be held in Estonia in the 1st half of the year to the 2nd half of the year. This is due to the spread of COVID-19. We will inform all selected participants about the decision regarding the event and alternative offers we provide regarding the Youth Participation Strategy development process by April 1, 2020.
We are very sorry for any inconvenience that this situation may cause and thank you for your understanding.

The SALTO Youth Participation Forum is hosted by SALTO Participation & Information Resource Centre (SALTO PI) in collaboration with National Agencies of Erasmus+: youth in Action from various countries.
The new Youth Participation Strategy has been built taking into account the current EU Youth Strategy (https://ec.europa.eu/youth/policy/youth-strategy_en) and the development of the new EU Youth programmes after 2020. It is based on the needs of the youth field and the contributions from different stakeholders from local, national and EU level. It is a consensus of diverse partners on the topic of youth participation and will highlight the potentials to boost youth participation in Europe. The Forum is a milestone in this process of co-creating the strategy and its implementation.
The SALTO Youth Participation Forum will assemble around 120 participants to explore how we – as young people, stakeholders who implement the programmes, decision-makers, researchers, youth workers, trainers and youth representatives – can strengthen youth participation in Europe together with the power of the youth programmes.
