Young European Federalist (JEF Europe) in the framework of the LADDER project
(Local Authorities as Drivers for Development Education and Raising Awareness) invite
you to take part in the conference Youth for Sustainable Europe taking place in
Brussels from 25 to 27 of September 2017.
About the Special Initiative
Youth for Sustainable Europe is a conference organized by JEF Europe, a leader of a
Thematic Path on Youth of the LADDER project. It aims to bring together European and
local policy-makers, youth organizations and civil society, along with young people from
all over Europe to discuss the role of youth in creating a sustainable future for all.
Organized at the anniversary of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in September,
the special initiative emphasizes the role of youth in reaching sustainable solutions to
current international challenges. Through panel discussions and workshops, together
with citizens and decision-makers, we will share ideas and find solutions to the
successful implementation of Sustainable Development Goals on the European,
national and local level.
How will we work?
The conference will take 2.5 days and will consist of:
- panel debates and discussions between the policy-makers, civil society and
citizens on the Agenda 2030 for development, as well as the role of youth
organizations in development and raising awareness of SDGs on a local level.
- interactive workshops by youth organizations and civil society representatives on
various youth in development related topics
- debate with the heads of political party youth organizations on the role of youth in
sustainable development and cooperation with local authorities in reaching
SDGs.
