The annual European Platform Meeting for Quality Label Youth Centres took place between 10-11 June 2026, at Destelheide-Hanenbos Youth Centre (Dworp, Belgium).
This year's event was the 17th edition of the Platform and it was jointly organised by the Council of Europe Youth Department and the Destelheide-Hanenbos Youth Centre, which has held the Quality Label since 2016.
The annual Platform Meeting encourages professional sharing among Quality Label-awarded youth centres and those aspiring to acquire the label. This year, 55 youth centre directors, managers and youth policy officials from across Europe gathered to discuss the role of youth centres in encouraging critical thinking and participation among young people.
