On 7–8 November 2025, FEMYSO attended the European Youth Forum’s Council of Members (COMEM) and General Assembly (GA) at the Kandersteg International Scout Centre in Switzerland. The gathering brought together youth organisations from across Europe to debate policies, strengthen cooperation, and look ahead to the coming term.
Observer Member Status
This year’s meeting was especially meaningful for our organisation: FEMYSO was officially welcomed as an Observer Member of the European Youth Forum. This recognition strengthens our ability to contribute to youth policy at the European level and reflects our ongoing commitment to representing and empowering young Muslims across Europe.
Engaging in Discussions
On the first day of COMEM, FEMYSO’s delegation introduced our organisation to the European Youth Forum community, sharing our mission to represent and empower young Muslims across Europe. The General Assembly featured sessions and presentations by member organisations showcasing their projects and achievements. These discussions offered valuable insights, fostering learning, exchange, and inspiration for FEMYSO’s future collaborations.
Meeting Partners
The event also offered a valuable opportunity to reconnect with partners and build new relationships. We were glad to meet with organisations including FYEG, OBESSU, EYCE, YEE, YEN, Y-E-N, JEF, ESN, ESU, EDF, and EUDY, among many others across the European youth movement. We also met and exchanged ideas with a number of youth councils including those from Norway, Sweden, Lithuania, Switzerland and many more. These exchanges allowed us to discuss shared priorities, explore future collaborations, and strengthen friendships that support our work across Europe.
Looking Forward
Becoming an Observer Member marks an exciting new chapter for FEMYSO. We look forward to contributing to the European Youth Forum’s work, amplifying the voices of young Muslims in Europe, and working alongside fellow organisations to build a more inclusive and democratic future.
We extend our gratitude to the European Youth Forum and all organisations present for their warm welcome, constructive conversations, and inspiring exchanges.
