OSCE Parliamentary Assembly follow-up meeting with
Young Political Leaders
Call for Action – Helsinki +50 Process
Tuesday, 28 September 2021, 14:30 – 17:00 CEST
BACKGROUND
The Assembly is hosting this virtual event to follow up on the discussions regarding the
significance of involving and empowering young political actors in decision- and policy-
making to address current and future challenges. The first event was held by the OSCE
Parliamentary Assembly earlier in spring as part of its
Call for Action – Helsinki+50 initiative,
aimed at revitalizing dialogue and the spirit of multilateralism within and beyond the OSCE.
The goal of this meeting is to operationalize recommendations and ideas put forward by the
politically active youth during the first meeting regarding the capacity of the younger
generations to contribute to tackling regional and global challenges as well as their thoughts on
how they could be better involved in decision and policy-making processes.
The invited high-level speakers, young political leaders and legislators across the OSCE region
will have an opportunity to exchange views and valuable insight on how to solidify the results
from the previous meeting and streamline shared suggestions and good practices into concrete
political action, both in the work of their national legislatures and of the Parliamentary
Assembly.
