BSR Working Groups

The BSRYF Working Groups are flexible and formed based on current youth priorities and Baltic Sea Region developments.

These groups provide a platform for young people to delve deeper into specific policy areas, propose solutions, and collaborate with decision-makers. Each working group is initiated by youth and supported by experts to ensure meaningful impact.
