Young people represent the future, as of Croatia, so as of a united Europe. This is precisely why young people are one of the main target groups towards which the MFAEI directs its efforts and activities. The involvement of young people in the European integration processes, i.e. the development of already established frames of involvement, is extremely important in connecting Croatia with the EU. In doing so it is particularly important for the MFAEI to establish a partner-based relationship with young people as a relevant social group with a view to creating a positive atmosphere within which mutual communication will evolve. Accordingly, the MFAEI has developed a wide range of various activities with regard to young people:

- Granting scholarships for post-graduate courses abroad

- Supporting associations of young people in Croatia dealing with European integration

- Organising winter and summer schools of European integration for students from Croatian universities

- Introducing young people to the .EU and to the opportunities that it offers for their development and advanced training

- Supporting Croatian young people in establishing contacts with their peers and other associations of the young in member states

- Supporting the participation of Croatian youth in EU programmes

- Participation of MFAEI employees as lecturers at forums and conferences organised by associations of young people

- Organising training activities with the purpose of acquiring knowledge in the field of European integration (EUQUIZ) and promoting the use of new technologies (MVPEI: Login@Europe)
