Youth for cooperation

Jan 28, 2025 | News

A consultation process held on November 15 in Brussels during the event “Youth for Future Cooperation – On the road to Interreg GO!” collected the opinion of 100 young people regarding the future of territorial cooperation after 2027.

The findings of the consultation have been summarized into the Declaration by young people on the future of territorial cooperation. It includes seven recommendations, and an action list focussing on four main issues:

  • Integrating and empowering border regions to create a more connected and inclusive approach to border regions in areas such as transport, education, and labour markets.
  • Breaking down barriers to foster cooperation and making it easier for people and businesses to work together across borders.
  • Involving everyone by engaging diverse stakeholders, including young people and underrepresented communities.
  • Mainstreaming youth by prioritising inclusion of young people in all policy objectives, increasing education and communication efforts.
