Ground Up’ Conversations: The Europe that we want

A colorful digital graphic poster promoting "Ground Up Conversations" and "The Europe That We Want" campaign, featuring logos of Oxfam Ireland and European Union funding.

This workshop will bring together activists, students, and young community leaders to shape a shared youth vision for Ireland’s upcoming Presidency of the EU Council in July 2026.

You can help us shape a series of recommendations and priorities for the Europe that they want to see – “A Manifesto for Ireland in Europe”. Later in the year we’ll bring the youth manifesto to policy makers in Dublin and Brussels, and there will be an opportunity for you to join us!
