📢 Working Group #6 at the German EUYC, working on target #6: Youth Organisations, came to interesting conclusions. 🧐 Some of them are: ➡️ Youth organisations have to be politically independent enough to be able to support young people in forming their own opinion on political topics. ➡️ Ask for a stronger role of youth organisations in the “Conference on the Future of Europe,” giving young people the opportunity to raise their voice and to participate in the discussions. ➡️ Easier and fairer access to funds. #YouthConf #euyc #eu2021si

📢 Working Group #4 at the German EUYC, working on target #4: Youth Spaces, came to interesting conclusions. 🧐 Some of them are: ➡️ “Youth spaces” should be independent, grant access to everyone, be safe spaces, and also offer professional support for personal development and further opportunities for participation. ➡️ It is crucial to make young people’s voices count equally in comparison to other age groups that have more access to networks, financial resources, etc. as this phenomenon has worsened during the pandemic. ➡️ These spaces have to be accessible for people with disabilities. #YouthConf
Button
📢 Working Group #3 at the German EUYC, working on target #3: Representation, came to interesting conclusions. 🧐 Some of them are: ➡️ Enable young people to participate in decision-making by lowering the voting age to 16 and enabling young people to candidate at a younger age. ➡️ Making sure the voting places are close to young people, like in schools. ➡️ Ensure young people recieve adequate civic education in schools. ❓Do you agree with them?❓
Button
📢 Working Group #2 at the German EUYC, working on target #2: Equal access, came to interesting conclusions. 🧐 Some of them are: ➡️ Give all young people access to information about opportunities on how to take part in politics (e.g. as part of political education in school), in youth-friendly language. ➡️ A minimum number of youth representatives in decision-making bodies and other areas affecting the youth. ➡️ Create safe spaces to allow and empower minorities to raise their voice. ❓Do you agree with the conclusions?❓

📢 Working Group #1 at the German EUYC, working on target 1: Influence Decision-Making Processes, came to interesting conclusions.

Youth goals, outcomes and implementation of demands from the EU Youth Dialogue have to be regularly revisited through National Working Groups. ❓Do you agree with the conclusions? 👇🏽

„I think that the Youth Goal of mental health and well-being is the most important one. Because the situation of young people in Europe is worrying. The level of psychologic problems is increasing rapidly and young people are suffering a lot from psychologic stress. I think that's something we need to raise awareness about.“ (Marius, Delegate from 🇩🇪) #euycvienna #youthconf #youthgoals #eu2018

„I am one of three Youth Delegates for the UK and we attend all three conferences of the cycle. This is my last conference, so I‘ve been involved in the whole creation of the Youth Goals and I’ll be responsible for implementing them in the UK as well.“ (Bronagh, Delegate from 🇬🇧) #euycvienna #youthconf #youthgoals #eu2018
Button
„My role to this process was to represent the Swedish youth and to formulate the Youth Goals. Our fucus has been on mental health issue, social inclusion, gender equality and environment, because we think these are the most important and most burning issues in Sweden. We want to have a cooperation in the EU to solve these problems.“ (Jakob, Delegate from 🇸🇪) #euycvienna #youthconf #youthgoals #eu2018

„I’m really excited about Youth Goals and the process of creation some activity plans. But first of all I am here to remind young people from European Union that there are non-EU Countries like Belarus, Ukraine, Albania or Kosovo, who also want to be integrated into implementation of Youth Goals and first of all in European youth programms.

„In Austria we have a saying, it goes „Sprich es in den Sack und stell es vor die Tür“. It translates to „Speak into a bag and I will put it in front of the door and will listen to it later“. Right now we have 11 great Youth Goals, but currently they are all on paper and we have to make sure that they don’t stay on the paper but actually become reality step by step. That’s what we focus on the following days and that’s why we are here and think about possibilities to make them come true.“ (Shervin, Delegate from 🇦🇹) #euycvienna #youthconf #eugoals #eu2018

„I think that the Youth Goal of mental health and well-being is the most important one. Because the situation of young people in Europe is worrying. The level of psychologic problems is increasing rapidly and young people are suffering a lot from psychologic stress. I think that's something we need to raise awareness about.“ (Marius, Delegate from 🇩🇪) #euycvienna #youthconf #youthgoals #eu2018

This is my last conference, so I‘ve been involved in the whole creation of the Youth Goals and I’ll be responsible for implementing them in the UK as well.“ (Bronagh, Delegate from 🇬🇧) #euycvienna #youthconf #youthgoals #eu2018
Button
„My role to this process was to represent the Swedish youth and to formulate the Youth Goals. Our fucus has been on mental health issue, social inclusion, gender equality and environment, because we think these are the most important and most burning issues in Sweden. We want to have a cooperation in the EU to solve these problems.“ (Jakob, Delegate from 🇸🇪) #euycvienna #youthconf #youthgoals #eu2018

„I’m really excited about Youth Goals and the process of creation some activity plans. But first of all I am here to remind young people from European Union that there are non-EU Countries like Belarus, Ukraine, Albania or Kosovo, who also want to be integrated into implementation of Youth Goals and first of all in European youth programms. (Stanislava, Delegate from 🇧🇾) #euycvienna #youthconf #eu2018 #youthgoals

„In Austria we have a saying, it goes „Sprich es in den Sack und stell es vor die Tür“. It translates to „Speak into a bag and I will put it in front of the door and will listen to it later“. Right now we have 11 great Youth Goals, but currently they are all on paper and we have to make sure that they don’t stay on the paper but actually become reality step by step. That’s what we focus on the following days and that’s why we are here and think about possibilities to make them come true.“ (Shervin, Delegate from 🇦🇹) #euycvienna #youthconf #eugoals #eu2018
