Labour Youth Forum (Maltese: Forum Żgħażagħ Laburisti, FŻL) is the youth organisation of the Labour Party of Malta. FZL is also active internationally and is an active member within the International Union of Socialist Youth and Young European Socialists.
The aim of the Labour Youth Forum is to promote Socialist Democratic values and progressivism amongst the youths in Malta and Gozo. At the same time the Labour Youth Forum works towards promoting confidence in the abilities of youths.
In order for these aims to be reached, the Labour Youth Forum has to build upon the values of social justice: equal distribution of the common good produced by the nation and the European Union, equal opportunity for everyone to enjoy the environment, quality educational opportunities for all and the guarantee of high quality healthcare. So that each and every one can benefit from all the above, the Labour Youth Forum has to strive against all kind of social, economic and political discrimination.
The Labour Youth Forum has to be on the forefront to prevent anyone from being discriminated because of disability, race, sexual orientation, religion or political affiliation. The Labour Youth Forum together with its European colleagues is duty bound to struggle in favour of a new social Europe which invest in people and strengthens solidarity.
(Statute of the Labour Youth Forum, 2009 Chapter 2)
The Labour Youth Forum aims at increasing the ability of the youths especially in cultivating them as the present and the future political leaders of our nation. Historically Labour Youth Forum was a force that brought change in the history of Malta in the last sixty years. The associated youths were not only witnessing change in Malta, but were themselves active and protagonists of re-writing the history of our nation.
The Labour Youth was established on 14 January 1951, thirty years after that the Labour Party (Malta) was founded. The name of this branch of the Labour Party was originally known as ‘Labour League of Youth’.
According to the Labour Youth Forum statute the Executive is the highest body. The Executive is elected during the General Meeting every two years. The General Meeting is held annually. The Executive is made up of the administration: which includes the President, Vice President, Secretary, Vice Secretary and the Financial Officer. Other positions in the Executive are the Political Co-ordinator, the Information Officer, an Officer responsible for the branches, an Officer responsible for organising events and five official members. In reality all these members meet together and today there is no difference between the administration and the other executive officers.
