The project Young European Takes on “Healthy Lives and Well-Being for all” of the European Youth Parliament with support from the Wellcome Trust and EIT Health has sought to bring together young people from across Europe with stakeholders to debate today’s pressing topics in the field of health. To this end, nearly 1000 young participants contributed to developing positions that will be shared with decision-makers through the publication of a policy recommendations paper.
The paper centres health as an underpinning and intersectional policy area across all Europe, indispensable for a prosperous future. Clear calls to action are presented based on this youth vision, with particular focus on actions to be taken at the level of EU institutions and European decision-makers.
