Invitation to Apply for the Baltic Sea Parliamentary Youth Forum

Back-to-Back to the Annual Conference of the BSPC in Helsingør Decisionmakers of today meet region builders of tomorrow.

The Baltic Sea Parliamentary Youth Forum of 2024 will take place in connection with the Annual Conference of the BSPC to promote dialogue between the region’s young people and policymakers. The purpose is also to capture input from the young generation, which is crucial in ensuring an environmentally and democratically sustainable peaceful future for the Baltic Sea Region.

Register now for the Baltic Sea Parliamentary Youth Forum 2024 and take an active role in addressing pressing issues such as resilience, energy security, and climate change. Young innovators and active minds from the Democratic Baltic Sea Region are invited to apply for this all-expenses-paid experience in the parliamentary world.

To promote youth engagement in regional parliamentary work, the CBSS, in partnership with the Danish Presidency to the Baltic Sea Parliamentary Conference (BSPC), has opened registration for the Baltic Sea Parliamentary Youth Forum 2024 (BSPYF).

The event will be hosted in the picturesque coastal city of

Helsingør, Denmark, from 24 to 27 August 2024.

The forum explicitly seeks 25 young participants who are active in local, national, or regional initiatives or organisations and can contribute innovative and impactful ideas for improving the future of the Baltic Sea Region (BSR).

This year’s forum will address critical topics such as resilience, energy security, and climate change, providing a unique platform for future policymakers and region builders to engage in discussions, foster networks, and collaboratively develop concrete recommendations.

The youth recommendations developed during the BSPYF will be presented to parliamentarians from the region during the subsequent 33rd Annual Baltic Sea Parliamentary Conference (BSPC). The BSPC has traditionally invited young people to its annual conference for several years.

Prospective forum participants are invited to submit their applications and proposals for recommendations by 24 April 2024. 

Before the event, an initial online meeting will be convened for the selected participants, offering them an opportunity to familiarise themselves with each other, initiate discussions, and receive information from the organisers. Additional online sessions are planned to aid participants in refining and consolidating their recommendations.

  • Invited to Apply: Individuals aged 18 to 29 who reside in or hold the nationality of any CBSS Member State. The organisers and the BSPC will cover travel and accommodation expenses.
