Young European Socialists Competitors

The European Youth Forum is the platform organisation advocating for youth rights in Europe. It is made up of over 100 National Youth Councils and international youth NGOs from across Europe. The European Youth Forum works to empower young people to participate actively in society and improve their lives by representing their interests towards the European Institutions, the Council of Europe, the United Nations and other partners active in the youth field.

The European Students' Union (ESU) is an umbrella organisation of 44 National Unions of Students (NUS) from 40 countries. The NUSes are open to all students in their respective country regardless of political persuasion, religion, ethnic or cultural origin, sexual orientation or social standing. Our members are also student-run, autonomous, representative and operate according to democratic principles. The aim of ESU is to represent and promote the educational, social, economic and cultural interests of students at the European level towards all relevant bodies and in particular the European Union, Bologna Follow Up Group, Council of Europe and UNESCO.

De JOVD (Jongerenorganisatie Vrijheid en Democratie) is een liberale politieke jongerenorganisatie en bestaat al sinds 1949. Sinds het jaar 2000 is de JOVD officieel gelieerd aan de Volkspartij voor Vrijheid en Democratie (VVD). In politiek opzicht is de JOVD echter volledig onafhankelijk, wat betekent dat wij onze eigen standpunten mogen bepalen. De huidige Landelijk Voorzitter is Friso van Gruijthuijsen.
