The Advisory Council on Youth is the non-governmental partner in the co-management structure which establishes the standards and work priorities of the Council of Europe’s youth sector and makes recommendations for future priorities, programmes and budgets. It is made up of 30 representatives from youth NGOs and networks in Europe and its main task is to advise the Committee of Ministers on all questions relating to youth.
Since 2016, the ENIL Youth Network has been represented in the Advisory Council on Youth, beginning with Agnes Sarolta Fazekas, from Hungary. Agnes was a Youth Board member at the time, and helped establish a relationship between ENIL Youth Network and CoE. She was succeeded by Rebecca Farren, from the United Kingdom, and then by Marijeta Mojašević, from Montenegro. Presently, Nina Portolan, from Serbia, represents ENIL Youth in the Advisory Council on Youth for the 2026–2027 term, and acts as the Rapporteur on Mainstreaming Disability Issues.
