During this time National Working Groups (�) in the member states of the European Union conducted consultation activities with young people through either physical, virtual youth dialogue events and participatory visual methodologies, or by giving feedback on EUYD themes through surveys (either online or offline), opinion polls and other similar consultation activities.
