The ID Forum will bring together approximately 150 participants from different roles and backgrounds, including:
- Youth workers, youth leaders and social workers (paid or volunteer) working with young people who experience barriers, in an organisation or informal group
- Activists, community organisers and multipliers connected to youth work
- Policymakers and youth advocates
- Researchers working on inclusion, participation or youth-related topics
- Inclusion & Diversity Officers from National Agencies
- Representatives of youth organisations, European institutions and networks

We are looking for participants with experience in inclusion and diversity in youth work or youth policy, and
are motivated to learn, contribute and engage with the theme “Maximising Impact”.

We strongly encourage applications from people with lived experience of barriers to participation. This may include social, economic, cultural, geographic or other barriers. The Forum will not be complete without diverse voices and real-life experiences in the room.
