Steering Group
The Steering Group comprises of three members of the CYR and two youth organisations. This group provides strategic guidance to BSRYF, ensuring that youth perspectives are effectively integrated into policy discussions and decision-making processes.
By acting as a bridge between young people and policymakers, the Steering Group helps set priorities, supports initiatives, and advocates for greater youth participation in the Baltic Sea Region. It plays a crucial role in mentoring CYR members and connecting BSRYF with regional and international stakeholders.
