Aims and purpose

The first European Alcohol Policy Youth Conference aims to:

• raise interest among young people and youth organizations in Europe about alcohol policy,
• empower the participants with the necessary skills and capacities in order to actively promote their views on alcohol,
• engage with these views in the policy-making, by capacitating them to be of influence next to institutions and authorities, as well as for raising awareness next to their constituencies and partners at the local, national or European levels,
• provide the necessary tools and training for participants to be able to conduct community based projects to reduce the alcohol related harm on youth,
• bring their own expertise and best practice and exchange them with the rest of the participants, as well as gain more skills on advocacy and policy-making,
• foster cooperation and networking among the participants and organisations present at the event.
