Empowering youth: a shared responsibility for cities and regions
[23/03/2014]
The Congress has decided to devote a large part of its two annual sessions in 2014 (March and October) to the theme “Empowering youth: a shared responsibility for cities and regions”. The aim is to generate exchanges between European local and regional elected representatives on the participation of young people, as actors of local and regional democracy.
This gave rise to a number of targeted debates on issues relating to youth and democracy during the 26th Congress session, from 25 to 27 March 2014, in Strasbourg (France): on 25 March, on “Is there a real place for young people in local and regional democracy?”, on 26 March, on “Fostering youth employment through education and training: role and best practices within regions in Europe”, as well as, on “Empowering Roma youth participation: effective policy design at local and regional levels”. Finally, on 27 March, a debate was devoted to “Youth participation- Voting at 16?”.

[23/03/2014]
Le Congrès a décidé de consacrer ses deux sessions annuelles de 2014 (mars et octobre) au thème « La place des jeunes dans la société : une responsabilité partagée des villes et régions». L’objectif est de proposer un forum d’échanges entre élus territoriaux européens sur la participation des jeunes en tant qu’acteurs de la démocratie locale et régionale. Ainsi, du 25 au 27 mars 2014, à Strasbourg (France), plusieurs débats ont été organisés autour des thématiques de la jeunesse et des droits de l’homme : le 25 mars sur « Quelle place pour les jeunes dans la démocratie locale et régionale» ; le 26 mars, sur « Favoriser l’emploi des jeunes par l’éducation et la formation : rôle et bonnes pratiques dans les régions en Europe », ainsi que sur « Donner aux jeunes Roms les moyens d’agir par la participation : Concevoir des politiques efficaces aux niveaux local et régional ». Enfin, le 27 mars, un débat a été consacré à « la participation des jeunes - voter à 16 ans ?».
