The Greek Presidency of the Council of the European Union, with the support of the European Commission, hosts the EU Youth Conference on the topic of Social Inclusion of Young People. 

The EU Youth Conference is one of the milestones of the structured dialogue process, which serves as a forum for continuous joint reflection on the priorities, implementation and follow-up of European cooperation in the youth field. The EU Youth Conference builds upon the results of national consultations conducted in the 28 Member States of the European Union as well as the reports submitted by International Non-Governmental Youth Organizations (INGYOs). 

The conference will be hosted in the city of Thessaloniki, the European Youth Capital for 2014, and will bring together around 250 participants from National Youth Councils (NYCs) and Directorates-General for Youth from the EU, candidate countries and EFTA (European Free Trade Alliance) states, as well as from International Non-Governmental Youth Organizations (INGYOs), the European Youth Forum and the European Commission.
