The open letter from the COMECE Youth Platform “outlines some proposals to ensure that the Youth Advisory Board empowers young people from all backgrounds to have a meaningful role in EU decision-making”. It calls for “the inclusion of youth organisations not currently part of European Commission’s networks, bringing fresh perspectives and voices that are often overlooked”. The COMECE Platform, however, “regrets the lack of willingness to involve other organisations in the Board beyond the National Youth Councils and the European Youth Forum”. Members of the Platform “identify accessibility as a key priority and highlight the importance of support tools such as sign language interpretation and consideration for young parents, which should be made consistently available”. Furthermore, to ensure broader participation in the Advisory Board, the letter recommends including young people from vulnerable groups, such as those with disabilities or migratory backgrounds. Emilio Dogliani, responsible for the COMECE Youth Platform, explains that “this would reflect the European Commission’s commitment to meaningful inclusion and participation, but the current structure proposed by the European Commission seems to leave no space to vulnerable youth representation”.
