2011 – 3rd International Youth Meeting: European Citizen – Where are you?

The European Youth Meeting “3rd International Youth Meeting: European Citizen – Where are you?” in Riga, Latvia, took place from September 22^nd to 30^th, 2011.

After the first two International Youth Meetings in Germany and Serbia from September 22^nd to 30^th, 2011 the “3rd International Youth Meeting: European Citizen – Where are you?” took place in the Latvian capital Riga. The aim was to bring together trainers, leaders and youth workers from entire Europe and to discuss the importance of European citizenship and the participation of juveniles in the project Europe. Out of it also practical ideas and aids for international youth work have been emerging.

The topics have been treated in several units of simulations, games, workshops and presentations. Amongst others there has been also a press conference of sorts, at which journalists and members of local political organisations defined their position on the representation of European youth work in public.

The whole project arose out of the idea, that besides the great importance of European youth work there are not enough offers for advanced training. By such meetings also a functioning network between the organisations can be established, what at least enables a well connected Europe.
