Many youngsters from the entire European region will gather on 1 & 2 July in Brussels to participate in the European Youth Forum for Road Safety. They were selected because of their involvement in the road safety field and it will give them the opportunity to join forces to favor road safety among all youngsters and improve the exchange of good practices, experience, trainings and knowledge between Youth NGO’s located in all EU Member States and neighborhood.

The European youth Forum is organized by young people for young people with support from the European Commission.

The Youth Forum 2010 is organized by one of the YOURS Taskforce members: Axl Druart. It will be focusing on concrete projects and taking back home actions and tools, in order to enforce road safety campaigns by gaining in credibility and experience.
