CENYC - Council of European National Youth Committees 1963-1996 10 linear metres, 200 files The Council of European National Youth Committees (CENYC) was founded on 23 March 1963 in as a voluntary association of eleven National Committees of the (WAY) (, , , , , , , , , and the ) and the two National Youth Councils of France and . and participated at the founding meeting, but only decided later to participate in the CENYC. Membership of the CENYC is open to representative National Youth Committees in Europe which are democratic according to the sense of the European Convention of , which represent all main democratic tendencies active on the national level, which are open to all democratic youth organisations and which support measures and activities for the intensification of European youth work. For each country only one National Council can be admitted. CENYC confers observer status and invitations.;CENYC finances itself through affiliation fees from members, contributions from members and European institutions.;The principal tasks of CENYC are to serve as a forum for the exchange of information, to collect and study material concerning youth problems, to co-operate and obtain assistance from organisations and institutions active in the field of youth work and and to support national youth committees in activities aiming at European unification. Every year several conferences and seminars are held aimed at tackling specific policy issues and to train youth leaders in international youth work. Special emphasis is given to enabling participants to share their international experience and allow them to disseminate such ideas in their own national situations. The organisation aims to promote democratic participation by young people within youth organisations and assist them to develop a European consciousness based on 'mutual respect and understanding through the creation of the awareness of the different traditions of the common European '. CENYC has also a role as a link with other of the world such as Africa, Asia and Latin-America. It plays an important role in developing East-west and Pan-European youth co-operation and it acts as a representative body on behalf of its members to the European institutions, governmental and non- governmental, and to other international bodies. Since the creation of the Council of Europe's European Youth Center and the European Youth Foundation CENYC has become member of its Advisory Board. In 1975 it was conferred the Advisory status with UNESCO. It collaborates closely with the 'European Co-ordination Bureau of International Youth Organisations' (ECB) (cf. deposit BEC).;In July 1996 the CENYC amalgamated with the 'Youth Forum of the European Communities' (YFEU) and the 'European Co-ordination Bureau of International Youth Organisations' (ECB) forming the ''.

It consists of virtually complete series that give an insight into the educational and political activities of the CENYC since its creation in 1963 and allow to reconstruct the organised youth activities which were not only orientated towards existing political structures which mirrored the actual state of events, but were able to look ahead and give new ideas to the political and social establishment. Of particular interest is the fairly rich material about the contacts with the quickly establishing youth organisations and councils in Eastern part of Europe after 1989. Since the material was in a disorganised state on its arrival at the archives it has been subject of a complete rearrangement. Thematical and chronological series have been created taking into consideration the organisational structure of the CENYC and the activities that it carried out. Ruth Meyer-Belardini, May 2003.

CENYC.B-04 All-European Youth and Student Cooperation (AEYSC) 1970- 1992 1970-1992 European co-operation between youth movements in Europe on a multilateral basis began with the organisation of a European Youth Security Conference jointly managed by CENYC and the World Federation of Democratic Youth (WFDY) held in Helsinki in 1972. Various other conferences and meetings followed, such as the "European Youth and Students Conference on Disarmament" held in Prague in 1973. On the basis of a paragraph in the Final Act of the "Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe (CSCE)" from summer 1975, where multilateral youth co-operation and the creation of a framework was encouraged, the five youth organisations CENYC, "Democratic Youth Community of Europe (DEMYC)", "European Federation of Liberal and Radical Youth (EFLRY)", "International Falcon Movement (IFM)" and "International Union of Socialist Youth (IUSY)" met regularly ("Balaton meetings") and prepared for the creation of a "Framework for All-European Youth and Student Cooperation" understood as a permanent body. Its constituent assembly took place in Budapest on 14 October 1980 with the participation of a large number of youth movements and councils. CENYC was very much supporting the AEYSC, but underlined the viewpoint, that it should be considered a step towards youth co-operation, not a final aim. During the following two years regular statutory meetings like the "consultative meetings" were held. Working groups such as e.g. the "Consultative follow-up group", "Youth and Student Contribution to the Struggle for a New International Economic Order (NIEO)" and "Youth and Student Contribution to the Implementation of the Final Act of the CSCE" meet on a regular basis. A technical secretariat was established in Budapest, in 1986 to 1990 it was transferred to Brussels and was administered by the CENYC's secretariat general. The meeting in Cyprus in autumn 1982 ended in a crisis and it was not until 1986 that the AESYSC was reactivated. The documents present in this series are mostly created by CENYC and cover the creation, the activities and the crisis of the AEYSC.

CENYC.C Relations with Council of Europe In the framework of the Council of Cultural co-operation between members states, the Council of Europe in 1963 set up an 'Experimental European Youth Centre' to hold seminars on topics of European importance and to provide training opportunities for young leaders. These initiatives add to those of the already existing 'Committee for Out-of-School Education' both reporting to the Council of Europe's secretariat. These units establish relations with the non- governmental youth organisations and it is also due to their pressure that the 'European Youth Centre' in 1972 and the 'European Youth Foundation' in 1973 were created. The Council's youth policy has now two permanent and effective institutional bodies where the non-governmental youth organisations are involved by statutes. Since CENYC was involved in the consultation process during the creation period of the Center and the Foundation and it took part in the institutional work of the Advisory committees, a rather complete collection of documents created by these bodies can be found in this series as well as the documents leading to its foundation. The documents present in this subfonds are, with some exceptions, reports, meetings' minutes and working papers produced by the Council.

CENYC.C-02 European Youth Center (EYC) and European Youth Foundation (EYF) The EYC is an educational establishment of the Council of Europe with its own building and statutes. "As an instrument of participation of European Youth and of non- governmental youth organisations in the building of Europe, it shall contribute to implementing the youth activities programme of the Council of Europe". It has two organs:Governing Board (eight representatives each of Governments and international non-governmental youth organisations appointed for four years with the task of drawing up and executing the programme, drawing up the annual report and managing the budget) and the Advisory Committee (ten to fifteen representatives of international non- governmental youth organisations, makes suggestions to the Board). It started its operational work in 1972. The European Youth Foundation:

After nine years of discussions (the proposal for its foundation was initially formulated during the seminar "Youth Policy in Europe" held by the CENYC in December 1963) the statutes of the foundation are adopted on 15/05/1972 by the Council of Ministers and it becomes operative in May 1973. The aim was to "promote youth co-operation in Europe by providing financial support to such European youth activities which served to promote peace, understanding and co- operation between the people of Europe and of the World in a spirit of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms." The foundation has four organs: the Intergovernmental Committee (representatives of the member states of the Foundation:determines the endowment of the Foundation and examines the programme), the Governing Board (eight governmental representatives appointed for eight years by the Intergovernmental Committee and eight representatives of youth organisations designated every three years by the Advisory Committee: examines activities to be financed and draws up the annual report), the Advisory Committee (eight representatives of national youth committees and non-governmental youth organisations: advises the Intergovernmental Committee and the Governing Board) and the Board of Auditors (three members appointed by Intergovernmental Committee). In the late eighties a revision by the "Working Party on Council of Europe Structures concerning Youth" led to a fusion of the Advisory Committees and the Governing Board, which were operating for both institutions from 1989 onwards.
