The Working Group will be one of several YPG-subgroups that specialize on a specific topic to form positions and represent on behalf of Youth in the YMCA.
As YMCA we have been invited to consult in the development of this Charter which is being created by the European Committee of the Regions and the European Youth Forum!
The Charter will strive to build and consolidate a youth friendly democratic space to ensure the voices of young people are formally, continuously and permanently represented in the European Union.
In the drafting process we will have the opportunity to contribute through online participatory tools such as submitting proposals and amendments throughout September, as well as to apply for a final in-person consultation in Brussels in October. The final document will then be presented to decision-makers in the European Institutions in December.
You are free to choose whether you would like to take part in the internal consultation of the Working Group only, participate in dialogues with the European Committee of the Regions or even travel to Brussels as a Delegate for YMCA based on your capacity and preference.
To participate please fill in this form until the 21 August!
You can find the document of the Committee of the Regions launching the co-creation process of the European Charter for Youth and Democracy here.
