European Youth Leader Conference on Human Rights, Social Inclusion and Youth Participation

Why A Call To Europe Conference?

In the 21th century also the European Union is facing the fact that communities are getting more intertwined and intercultural. Political leaders, NGO representatives and young people face the challenge of building and maintaining shared societies in their communities and countries.

A shared society is a socially cohesive society. It is stable and safe. It is where all those living there feel at home. It respects everyone’s dignity and human rights while providing every individual with equal opportunity. It is tolerant. It respects diversity.

A shared society is constructed and nurtured through good leadership and active citizenship. Unfortunately European citizens are still facing different forms discrimination, racism, social exclusion and violation of their human rights. Especially new comers in the European Union are feared by those who are different and they experience prejudice. The fight for equal opportunities for people with a handicap, increasing the social inclusion of minority group and the abolition of child labour and exploitation are still relevant issues in the 21th century in Europe.

During the conference youth leaders will actively discuss policies and practices that create opportunities and bring people together around common values, projects and goals.
