Jean Lambert, London's Green MEP since 1999, and the European Parliament's youngest MEP, Emilie Turunen, will make three joint appearances in London today.
They will meet with the Young Mayor of Lewisham, Jacob Sakil, at the Civic Suite at Lewisham Town Hall.
Jean and Emilie will then travel to Deptford, where there will be joined by Darren Johnson, the Green parliamentary candidate for Lewisham Deptford, to discuss youth unemployment, with representatives from The Albany arts venue.
Finally, they will travel to Westminster to discuss Emilie's draft report on youth unemployment in the EU with a group of experts on the issue.
Over 5.5 million young people in the EU under 25 were unemployed in December 2009, the equivalent to 21.4% of all young people.
Turunen's draft report calls for a promotion of youth access to the labour market and a strengthening of trainee, internship and apprenticeship status.
Jean Lambert said: "Youth unemployment is one of the most acute problems facing Europe today, and Lewisham has one of the highest rates of unemployed under 25s in inner London. I welcome the opportunity to draw attention to this worrying trend by backing Emilie's comprehensive draft report."
"This chronic problem has far-reaching consequences, from the increase in welfare costs to the erosion of the tax system, with young victims of the recession more at risk of long-term social exclusion and health problems."
"In response to this challenge, I strongly support Emilie's call for Member States to work together to produce a coherent strategy of educational, financial, and social policies."
Turunen, 25, who represents the Danish Socialist People's Party (Socialistisk Folkeparti, SF) in the European Parliament, added: "Let's put youth at the top of the political agenda. Let's take up this challenge. Let's turn Generation Lost to Generation Hope."
