Young people need trusted information, meaningful participation and spaces for constructive dialogue.

Yesterday's EU Presidency Associated Event at the University of Galway brought together voices from across the youth sector to explore how we can make that happen.

A great day of learning, discussion and collaboration with partners from across Ireland and Europe. It was great to work closely with our colleagues in Galway and Roscommon ETB for this event.
