There are few public, governmental or social debates or plans for dialogue on the topic of youth participation.

Forthcoming policy developments

The government is engaged in an ongoing dialogue with Hungarian youth on EU and global issues. The two pillars of this are the Youth Dialogue National Working Group (Ifjúsági Párbeszéd Nemzeti Munkacsoport) and the UN Youth Delegate (Ifjúsági Küldött) programme. The government aims to ensure that the Youth Dialogue National Working Group represents the interests and opinions of young people in the most appropriate and representative way possible. To this end, with the conclusion of the 11th cycle of the European Youth Dialogue in 2025, negotiations have begun with youth advocacy organisations (such as with the National Youth Council - Nemzeti Ifjúsági Tanács) and civil society organisations, as well as relevant government actors, regarding the future role and composition of the Working Group (based on information from the Ministry of Culture and Innovation - Kulturális és Innovációs Minisztérium).

According to information from the ministry in 2025, discussions are underway regarding a new national youth strategy. The aim of the new document is to increase young people's awareness of public life. The key objectives of the new strategy are to enable young people to express their opinions, make suggestions, and participate in public life in as many forums as possible, both locally and nationally.

Ongoing debates

Currently, there are no ongoing debates in the public and political sphere on issues related to youth participation.
