Young European Federalist (JEF Europe) in the framework of the LADDER project (Local Authorities as Drivers for Development Education and Raising Awareness) invites 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 coordinator of a Youth in Development Thematic Path 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 on the European, national and local level.

LADDER project is co-financed by the European Union. Hosted by the Committee of the Regions
