We hear it all the time: "youth engagement is essential."
But what does meaningful youth engagement really look like in practice?
This International Youth Day, we’re opening up a conversation on how young people are included in shaping the policies, programmes, and decisions that affect them.
💬 Tell us:
What does "meaningful youth engagement" mean to you?
Have you experienced or witnessed youth participation that felt tokenistic? What made it feel that way?
Have you seen it done well? What worked?
Let’s challenge assumptions and highlight what real youth power looks like. 📣 👏
✨ Your input could go further!
Selected quotes from this discussion may be featured in an upcoming Meaningful Youth Engagement training package by the ILO. Share your voice — it could help shape how others engage youth more meaningfully.
