The Children's Rights Action Group (CRAG) works to mainstream children's rights in the legislation, policies and actions of the EU institutionsand member states and to secure sufficient and dedicated budget allocations for children. The IFM-SEI Secretary General, Carly Walker-Dawson, sits on this group on behalf of IFM-SEI and works with Brussels-based organisations to coordinate in the efforts to advocate for children's rights. 

FLACJ is the umbrella organisation of youth movements in Latin America and the Caribbean. The forum was created in 2015 in order to bring together and strengthen platforms, movements and youth organisations fighting for greater youth participation and human rights in the region. IFM-SEI is represented by the former IFM-SEI President, Sylvia Siqueira Campos.

The IFM-SEI Secretary General, Carly Walker-Dawson, represents IFM-SEI on the European Youth Forum (YFJ) expert group on Erasmus+ and funding for the period 2016-18. The group advocates on youth funding with a focus on the European Commission funding for youth, Erasmus+, and is drafting a policy paper on the future of youth funding in the next Multi-annual Financial Framework (MFF) of the European Commission from 2021 onwards. The expert group also follows progressions in youth funding on a wider basis and offers a platform to advocate with a number of like-minded youth organisations with similar objectives in terms of funding. 

IFM-SEI is represented by David Persson - Unga Örnar member and coordinator of the IFM-SEI Migration Network - on the European Youth Forum's Migration and Human Rights Network. The two main priorities the network identified for 2017 are to develop guidelines and/or collect best practices to include young refugees in the work and structures of youth organisations, and to gather input on addressing the main challenges facing unaccompanied minor refugees in the transition to adulthood, in order to feed into a Council of Europe policy document. The group also comes together to discuss potential common projects and future collaborations.
