Activities

The Baltic Sea Region Youth Forum (BSRYF) is dedicated to fostering meaningful youth participation in macro-regional policymaking. Through a variety of initiatives, BSRYF empowers young individuals to engage actively with decision-makers and ensures capacity building among policymakers to implement meaningful youth participation.

Activities encompass different levels of engagement, making it possible for young people with varying interests and experience levels to contribute to shaping the Baltic Sea Region’s future.

The activities of BSRYF are designed to facilitate direct youth involvement in decision-making while providing learning opportunities for those new to regional cooperation. Key initiatives include the BSRYF Election Meeting, which serves as the foundation for the everyday operations of the youth-led Committee of Youth Representatives (CYR), ensuring democratic representation within BSRYF. Additionally, BSRYF Working Groups are established on a needsbasis, allowing young people to collaborate on topics that align with both youth priorities and pressing regional issues.
