Commissioner Brunner hosts Youth Policy Dialogue to discuss the future of the EU, migration and internal security priorities

Commissioner for Internal Affairs and Migration, Magnus Brunner, hosted a Youth Policy Dialogue focused on the future of the EU, migration and internal security in Vienna, Austria.

The dialogue brought together more than 100 pupils from the AHS Heustadelgasse to discuss migration, internal security and the fight against crime, as outlined in the European Internal Security Strategy, ProtectEU. The exchange also highlighted Erasmus+ and opportunities for young people, such as the DiscoverEU travels passes, which were awarded to more than 40 000 young people on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of Schengen.

Youth dialogues are part of the European Commission’s commitment to mainstream the voice of young people in EU policy-making, as set out in President von der Leyen’s Political Guidelines for 2024-2029. These dialogues are important to ensure that the voice of young people is heard and helps shape the work of the Commission.
