Synaspismos Youth (Greek: Νεολαία Συνασπισμού), was the youth organization of Synaspismos. Until 1999, it was named Union of Left Youth.
The Synaspismos Youth participated in the Left Unity in the Greek Universities with smaller left-wing student organizations. It published a magazine called "Enedra" every two months.
A member of the European Network of Democratic Young Left (Endyl), Synaspismos Youth has been described as "one of its pillars."[1] Under the leadership of today's Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras, the organization took an active part in the process of creating the Greek Social Forum.[2] It also participated in alter-globalist struggles[3] and together with its European sister organizations co-organized events in the context of the 4th European Social Forum, 2006 in Athens.[4]
