Urban Youth and Europe Day
Young people from metropolitan cities and Europe, a success story?
On 27 November 2010, young people and representatives of youth organisations from Brussels, as well as other cities, will present their projects and ideas to the public at large. In addition, they will discuss their needs, wishes and aspirations with political representatives from Belgium and Europe. Their opinions will be backed up by young people and representatives of youth organisations from Spain, Belgium, Hungary (current Trio Presidency) and Poland (first of the next Trio Presidency), who will come to Brussels especially for this event.
It promises to be a hot day in the heart of Europe!

Not everyone is all that interested in attending a workshop. Maybe you would rather experience the event in a different way? In this case you can get to know a lot of youth projects and pathways that are presented to you in the most diverse ways (image, sound,..). They are scattered all over the KVS and can be visited even during the workshops.

Objective of this day:
- To present young people from metropolitan cities in a positive light and to make the challenges they are facing debatable.
- To provide a platform where young people from different districts and neighbourhoods receive the opportunity to express their creativity, and to reveal how “Europe” shows young people from a metropolitan context in a positive and artistic light.
- To give young people from a metropolitan context a voice in the European youth policy agenda and to acknowledge their contribution regarding the eight themes of the new framework for European cooperation in the youth field (education and training, employment and entrepreneurship, health and welfare, participation, volunteering, social inclusion, youth and the world, and creativity and culture) .
