Empowering Youth for Policy Leadership
Génération Maastricht brings together young European policymakers to contribute to UN and EU decision-making, strengthen youth participation, and drive meaningful, lasting change across Europe.
Our vision of 2050's Europe
Génération Maastricht is committed to ensuring that young Europeans are recognized as full stakeholders in global and regional governance. We work to integrate youth perspectives into policy processes at the United Nations, the European Union, and national institutions.
Our organisation champions youth participation in multilateral governance. We contribute to key discussions on climate action, digital transformation, human rights, global health, and sustainable development.
We build bridges between youth, civil society, academia, and institutions creating opportunities for learning and leadership. Our mission is to equip a new generation to meaningfully contribute to Europe’s future.
