The Nordic Youth Disability Summit is the Nordic Council of Ministers' annual collaboration meetings with youth disability organisations. The aim of the meetings is to strengthen the perspectives of children and youth in Nordic cooperation on disability issues.
The Nordic Programme for Cooperation on Disability Issues 2023–2027 lays out the Nordic Council of Ministers’ cooperation strategy for disability. The programme includes an annual meeting of experts with representatives of interest groups for young people with disabilities in order to strengthen the perspective of children and young people in the Nordic cooperation on disability issues.
Youth disability organisations met in Copenhagen in October 2023 to discuss current issues and challenges and identify areas of cooperation. The Nordic Youth Disability Summit is a meeting between the Nordic Council of Ministers and young people with disabilities and will take place on an annual basis from 2023 to 2027.
During the summit the representatives of organisations for young people with disabilities prepared statements on relevant themes about Nordic cooperation on disability and contributed to formulating recommendations in a Nordic project on the right of children and young people to be heard.
