Young perspectives on European security

What is the perspective of young people on the future of European security? Which topics are important to them, what do they identify as the biggest challenges, and which practical recommendations do they have?

Young people constitute a majority of population in the OSCE area, but are not sufficiently involved in policy-making and public debate. Many of them actively engage in their local communities and care about peace in Europe at large. They are worried about unresolved conflicts, increasing distrust and decline of international cooperation. Their voices deserve being heard. Perspectives 20-30 is an initiative of the OSCE and FES Cooperation & Peace to provide a platform for young women and men to formulate and discuss with decision-makers a vision for how a safer future in the OSCE area could look by 2030 and beyond.

Perspectives 2030 in 2019

The recommendations of the young experts were debated with diplomats and young delegates at the OSCE-wide Youth Forum in Bratislava in October 2019. An official handover of the final report “Perspectives 20-30” to the Chairman-in-Office Miroslav Lajčák followed at the OSCE Ministerial Council in Bratislava in December 2019.

Perspectives 2030 in 2021

Due to the pandemic, participants convened in an online academy in March 2021. An official presentation of their papers at the OSCE was done in December. 

Perspectives 2030 in 2022

In 2022, the initiative continued with an online academy and a one-day event in Andorra that brought together 15 young women and men to discuss European and national security challenges. Participants developed recommendations on education, gender equality, the environment, peacebuilding, democratic institutions, and energy and economic security, and presented their ideas directly to senior decision-makers. The Roadshow provided a space for young people to engage with the OSCE and contribute their perspectives to discussions on security and cooperation.

Members

For each installment of Perspectives 2030, the members of the core group of young experts were selected from hundreds of applicants responding to an open call. Young professionals between the ages of twenty and thirty were chosen on the basis of their expertise, motivation, and networks. They reflected the gender and geographical diversity of the OSCE area and come from a wide range of backgrounds including academia, civil society, policymaking, and the media. They contributed to the Perspectives 20-30 initiative in their personal capacity on a voluntary basis.
