The European Union is preparing to develop its next long-term budget for the years 2028–2035. Right now, through public consultations, every citizen has the opportunity to influence the future financial priorities of the EU. It is especially important for young people to get involved in areas such as cross-border education, training, solidarity, media, culture, creative sectors, values, and civil society.
Why get involved?
The EU budget determines which projects and initiatives will be supported in the coming years. It influences the development of educational, cultural, and media programs that directly impact the lives of young people across Europe. Your opinion can help better align funding with the real needs of the youth.
How to participate in the consultations?
The consultations are open until May 6, 2025. To share your opinion, simply fill out the form available on the official website of the European Commission. Participating in the consultations is easy and does not require specialized knowledge – your perspective and experience matter.
What’s next?
Once the consultations are concluded, the European Commission will analyze the collected opinions and take them into account when drafting the new budget proposal, which is set to be presented in July 2025. This is a crucial moment that will shape EU funding and policies in the coming years.
Your Voice Matters!
Engaging in public consultations is not only an opportunity to express your opinion but also a way to have a real impact on the future of Europe. Young people play a key role in shaping civil society, so it is essential that their voices are heard. Don’t wait – take part in the consultations and help shape the future of the European Union!
