This roundtable aimed to give young people the opportunity to discuss what kind of economic development they would like to promote, based on quality jobs. Speakers were invited to discuss the link between quality jobs and economic development and demonstrate that quality jobs are not necessarily detrimental to economic development, despite what we often hear in public debate. Claire Courteille, Director of the ILO Brussels Office, and Alexandra Grolimund, from the Global Network for Rights and Development, insisted on the fact that quality jobs could even be drivers of sustainable economic development. According to the ILO, investing in quality jobs, reducing the employment of vulnerable people and tackling working poverty leads to higher economic growth. The objective of the YO!Fest and of this panel in particular was also to illustrate that ‘development is about all of us’ and that young people can contribute themselves to a more sustainable and economic development. With this in mind, Jerome Herman, Director of Belgian cooperative Damnet, explained his decision to get involved in a cooperative, to contribute to an alternative model of development, based on quality jobs. 15 HIGH LEVEL DEBATE: Youth and the City The YO!Fest’s high-level debate mayors of past, present and focused on youth participation, future European Youth Capitals examining how young people (EYCs) brought their experience can be empowered to actively of youth engagement alongside shape their cities.

  • Advocacy Statement
    Advocacy Statement The “YOUTH IN ACTION” programme will follow the current EU Youth Programme which ends in 2006. The new programme to receive funding will run from 2007 to 2013. The importance and effect of the “YOUTH IN ACTION” programme is currently being jeopardized by the cuts to the overall EU budget for the period of 2007-2013. Supported by the European Parliament report from October 2005, organisations active in the youth field and young people across Europe, we urge national governments and MEPs to seriously consider the impact of the budget cut to the Youth programme. Such a decrease to the budget will not allow maintaining all foreseen actions and their quality. Therefore, we strongly demand to maintain the Youth budget at a level, at which the previous standards of the actions can be continued, supplementing with innovative elements, offering more possibilities to more beneficiaries of the programme. We believe that the objectives of the programme cannot be achieved under 915 million EUR. However we endorse and support the proposal of the European Parliament to allocate 1,128 billion EUR to the “YOUTH IN ACTION” programme. The “YOUTH IN ACTION” contributes to the future of Europe by investing in young people, by enhancing the mobility of young people thus strengthening cohesion and contributing to the overall objectives of the European Union. 1 The general aims of the new “YOUTH IN ACTION” programme are to promote the active citizenship of young people in general and their European awareness in particular, to develop solidarity among young people in order to strengthen the EU’s social cohesion and to encourage European cooperation in the field of youth policy.

  • Introduction
    YOUTH FOR EUROPE PROGRAMME Introduction 1998 further consolidated the development and sustainability of the Youth for Europe programme in the framework of the European Union’s continuing allegiance to the field of education, youth and training. Throughout its eleven years of implementation, the programme has never failed to support the creative energy and entrepreneurial spirit of young people, particularly now that they are at the threshold of an ever changing and expanding Europe as we approach the Millennium. Throughout the year, priorities were placed on youth work that promotes tolerance with a special emphasis placed on anti-racism following the success of the 1997 “European Year against Racism and Xenophobia”. The programme has helped young people in communities all over Europe integrate at local and European levels and learn about each others respective cultures and traditions. This approach has also supported young ethnic minorities all around Europe integrate at a social, cultural and European level, deconstructing stereotypes and negative ideologies promoted by war, hatred and disintegration. This Compendium presents the projects financed under the 1998 centralised selections and re-iterates the Commission’s commitment to projects demonstrating good quality in terms of originality, the overall learning objective and the adherence to the criteria which is the cornerstone for the educational context. The projects show the trends of young people, presenting a mutual opportunity for them to develop innovative ideas regarding their future, but also giving the Commission the chance to keep in touch with these trends and realise the dreams of the young participants. During the year relationships between European and international partnerships, networks and the local communities have developed and consolidated, successfully culminating in a rich mixture of exchanges, study visits, seminars, youth initiatives, voluntary work and dissemination of contemporary European related issues through the media.

The name relates to the Aegean Sea where democracy was created 2,000 years ago. It is pronounced as if it were a French word "aégée". The English name is the European Students' Forum. EGEE wanted to be a platform for young Europeans to discuss the future of Europe and to present their ideas to the officials of the EU institutions and national governments. At the time, EGEE only focused on the EU Member States. However, in 1991 AEGEE began to develop its network in the EFTA countries and in Central and Eastern Europe . Since its creation, more than 100,000 young Europeans have become members of the AEGEE network, and AEGEE has managed many successful European projects: e;g.: Euromanagers (today run by EMDS), Peace Academy, Turkish-Greek Civic Dialogue and the most famous: Summer Universities -which are successfully run for over 18 years and every year involve around 3000 young people. Objectives AEGEE is one of Europe's largest interdisciplinary student associations and it’s main aim is to promote European Integration and development of tolerant civil society.

How to enhance the representation of those are most entitled? Abstract In the EU, one-third of the population is under the age of 30. Many of these 170 million young Europeans showed an unexpected commitment facing the climate crisis, especially in the last two years. A peculiar sensitivity to the subject, nourished by academic preparation and sense of community, are the driving values of this young generation. It appears consequential that the future of the continent will be decided by this generation of committed young men and women.
