Dear Activists especially in the European South,

CONTENT OF THE SEMINAR

As you probably know, FYEG is putting up a series of seminars and events in order to address the situation in which young people find themselves today. The high numbers of Youth Unemployment creates a situation where the young generation seems to be left alone and without perspective. Against the agony, we will strive for exploring new ways organizing our social and economic live.

The seminar gives activist from Green youth organisations and movements in the south of Europe the possibility to propose policies and solutions to the current European crisis. There will be around 30 young participants from all over Europe and have the opportunity to exchange opinion with Green MEPs.

The Seminar will bring young people from across Europe together for an in-depth learning and training course. The programme will include a content part where speakers as well as you participants will share information

This call is open for applicants coming from any Council of Europe member state, Belarus or Kosovo, but especially for applicants from Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia and Cyprus. Participants should be interested in the topics of this event, willing to take active part in the programme and follow up of the project. It is highly appreciated if applicants link this project with their organisation in one way or another, in particular in the follow-up of the Seminar.

The main objectives we will concentrate on this event are:

• Empower the youth as pioneers of the transformation of the economy
