FRA aims to better address the fundamental rights issues that matter most to young people. The panel members will provide feedback on the agency's activities from a youth perspective to ensure young people's voices are heard.
The panel, which will operate for two years, will advise FRA's Director on future priorities. As a pilot project, it will also play a major role in developing the structure and rules for the future Youth Advisory Panel.
The panel began with meetings at FRA on 4 to 6 April 2025, when the members took part in a series of discussions and activities to set the scene.
This is a significant step towards fostering youth participation in fundamental rights issues, particularly for vulnerable groups.
FRA's decision to establish the pilot Youth Advisory Panel is part of a broader effort to promote a more inclusive approach to fundamental rights, where young people's voices are heard and valued.
