The ECOSY "Young European Socialists" gathers Socialist youth movements of the European Union, Central and Eastern Europe and of the Mediterranean countries. It was founded in November 1992 in The Hague with the following objectives:
-
to promote and support the values of democratic socialism
-
to defend the interests of young people towards the European institutions
-
to promote European citizenship and the emergence of a common identity in order to achieve mutual understanding.
ECOSY is the youth organisation of the Party of European Socialists (PES), works in close co-operation with the International Union of Socialist Youth (IUSY) and is a member of the European Youth Forum.
