European Values for the Future of the Southeastern European Countries
Although all countries embarked from the same point, the situation today with all of them is different. Some of the countries of the region like Slovenia, Bulgaria, Romania and Croatia became members of the Euro-Atlantic integration structures. Others, like Montenegro and Serbia are already on a good path to achieving their goal.
The International Youth Conference “European Values for the Future of SEE Countries“ for twelfth consecutive years lives as a forum where 60 active, successful and able young leaders, youth workers and representatives of prominent NGOs from 16 countries. Those fighters for a better future are sharing their visions, strategies, campaigns and way of thinking during the 5-day forum.
They are using the Conference as an orientation marker for their future plans in the field of European values because it is well known that the conference is the perfect base for proclaiming new ideas and creating new politics. The International Youth Conference is a unique place, a cultural crossroad where discussions for: rule of law, democracy, human rights, freedom of speech, free-market economy, political inclusiveness and right of free sexual orientation, are mixing while we are putting together the mosaic of the future.
Specific Conference objectives:
– To bring together 60 active young people, youth leaders and youth workers from 16 countries to endorse the common set of values by experiencing the fundamental European values: human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and the respect for human rights;
– To encourage dialogue between on one hand civil society, youth leaders and active young people and on the other hand decision makers and public authorities in general, to discuss about the citizenship rights and to build a vision of the European citizenship;
– To provide space and means for youth researchers, policy-makers, youth organizations and young people for exchange of knowledge and experiences for practicing new ways of youth engagement, to explore these modern European values together and to develop strategies on how they can be implemented in youth work practice, youth research and policy in SEE;
– To stimulate capacity building of youth workers, leaders and active young people in order to strengthen their position in society and local communities by offering them information, experiences and contacts and thereby their support in getting closer to their objectives and their vision of a better future;
– To raise awareness about the importance of regional cooperation between active young people and youth leaders from SEE and the needs of the cooperation with young people from the EU countries based on the responsibilities towards each other and the common challenges though seeing the considerable benefits of close regional cooperation — political understanding, economic and social prosperity;
