Youth initiatives
Young people play a central role in shaping tomorrow’s Europe.
That’s why we organise a range of initiatives around Europe to help you learn more about economics, central banking and the ECB’s responsibilities, and to give you a chance to share your views and ideas on the topics that interest and affect you.
Have your questions answered at the ECB Youth Dialogue
The ECB Youth Dialogue, a series of events which take place throughout Europe and also online, give you the opportunity to ask questions and share your views on the economy and the future of Europe directly with our policymakers. Keep an eye on our social media channels to find out about our upcoming events!
