About
The Council of Europe Advisory Council is made up of 30 representatives from youth NGOs and networks who provide opinions and input on all youth sector activities. It also ensures that young people are involved in other activities of the Council of Europe. The Council of Europe’s youth sector works on the basis of a partnership between non-governmental youth organisations and governments, in what is known as the co-management system. The Advisory Council on Youth is the non-governmental partner in the co-managed bodies of the Council of Europe’s Youth Department.

The next recruitment cycle is likely to take place in 2017.
