The Youth Working Party of the Council of the European Union is scheduled to meet on 22 July 2026 at 10:00 in the Justus Lipsius building in Brussels, according to a notice of meeting and provisional agenda published by the Council. The meeting will take place at the Council's headquarters, Rue de la Loi 175, 1048 Brussels, with contact details provided for the Youth Working Party secretariat.
A correction to the document, issued as CM 3151/26 COR 1, clarifies that the original date of the notice (CM 3151/26 INIT) should read 16 July 2026, not the initially indicated date. The agenda for the meeting has not been disclosed in the notice, and no prior coverage of this specific session exists in recent records. The Youth Working Party is a preparatory body of the Council that deals with youth policy matters, typically preparing discussions and decisions for the Education, Youth, Culture and Sport Council configuration. The meeting may address ongoing EU youth initiatives, such as the European Year of Youth follow-up or the implementation of the EU Youth Strategy 2019-2027, but specific items remain unconfirmed. Stakeholders including youth organisations, national youth ministries, and EU institutions will await further details on the agenda. The meeting is expected to involve representatives from EU member states and the European Commission.
