Formal Mechanisms of Consultation

There is no prescriptive mechanism for consultations with young people in Croatia apart from the EU Youth Dialogue. It serves as a platform for discussion on issues and priorities of youth policy. The National Working Group for the EU Dialogue with Youth consists of youth representatives, representatives from the state office in charge for young people and the national Erasmus+ agency. Depending on the topic, external members can be appointed. There are various methods used for consultation with young people, for instance, public consultations, national conferences, workshops, discussions, on-line questionnaires and on-line discussions. Depending on the topic, a researcher is contracted to analyse the results of consultation and propose a background paper for defining national priorities.
