2nd EUROPEAN YOUTH SUMMIT - 15-16 May 2005, Warsaw, Poland
APPLICATION DEADLINE: Wednesday, 2nd March 2005
CONTEXT AND AIM OF THIS EVENT
The aim of the 3rd Summit of Heads of States and Government is to draw inspiration from Europe's shared values regarding the protection of the rule of law, human rights and democracy, to define the role of the Council of Europe in the new European institutional framework. In 1993, the final Declaration of the 1st Council of Europe Summit expressed the conviction of all Member States that the participation of Young People is essential for creating the cohesive yet diverse Europe necessary to consolidate peace and stability on the continent. The opportunity given by the Council of Europe to young people to contribute to the debate on the future of Europe, in the framework of the 3rd Summit of Heads of State and Government will contribute to reaffirming the importance of youth participation in building European societies based on the values promoted by the Council of Europe. In the framework of this event, a wide range of cultural, educational and other activities will be held on 14 and 15 May, organised by national and local organisations and foundations, around the general theme of "Youth - future - Europe".
MAIN OBJECTIVES OF THE YOUTH SUMMIT
- To contribute to the debate on the role and place of the Council of Europe in the new European institutional framework
- To define the role of the youth sector, in promoting the core values of the Council of Europe
In this regard, a YOUTH DECLARATION will be adopted by the participants in the Youth Summit and presented to the Heads of States and Government at the opening session of the 3rd Summit. To ensure that this Declaration reflects the opinion of a wide majority of young people around Europe, the European Youth Forum will launch a large scale consultation by sending a questionnaire to all its member organisations, to Advisory Council members and to the partners of the Directorate of Youth and Sport (DYS) of the Council of Europe on the issues relevant to the above-mentioned objectives.
