Survey: Youth involvement in Cohesion Policy

JavaScript isn't enabled in your browser, so this file can't be opened. Enable and reload.

We invite you to take part in a survey, which is part of the EUTeens4Green project. This initiative supports youth-led initiatives that promote the green transition in EU carbon-intensive regions covered by the Just Transition Fund.

The primary goal of this survey is to assess the involvement of young individuals in local, regional, national, and EU decision-making processes, specifically in the context of the green transition under the Cohesion Policy framework. By participating, you will help us in collecting lessons-learned and formulating recommendations for improving the engagement of young people in Cohesion Policy.

The survey results will complement other ongoing monitoring and evaluation activities led by CEE Bankwatch Network, and the final conclusions will be presented at the closing conference scheduled for April 2024.

It should take less than 10 minutes to complete this survey – your feedback is very much appreciated.

Kindly submit your responses by March 12, 2024.

Thank you for your participation, and we look forward to receiving your valuable insights.

Best regards,

EUTeens4Green Team
