The European Network of Democratic Young Left (ENDYL) was an independent network of left-wing democratic socialist political youth organisations in Europe.

Contents

ENDYL was open to European youth organisations of the democratic left that neither follow a social democratic nor an uncritically orthodox communist course. Its agenda was based on democracy, individual freedom, solidarity, human rights, internationalism and ecological responsibility.

Founded in Copenhagen, 6 to 8 May 1994, ENDYL consisted of 17 socialist, green left and radical democratic youth organisations in 2012. It worked together with the Party of the European Left as well as with social movements and with organisations from the countries of the southern hemisphere.

In March 2016 ENDYL announced its dissolution. Some of its member are participating in the formation of the Young European Left as its successor. [1]
