Конгрес місцевих і регіональних влад Ради Європи запрошує молодих лідерів до участі в роботі конгресу. Дедлайн - 17 вересня 2018 р. (далі - англ.).

Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe is looking for YOUTH DELEGATE to represent his/her Member State in the Congress Sessions in 2019.

Detailed requirements are under the link below.

The Congress is a pan-European political assembly, its 648 members hold elective office (they may be regional or municipal councillors, mayors or presidents of regional authorities) and represent over 200,000 authorities in 47 European States. Its role is to promote local and regional democracy, improve local and regional governance and strengthen authorities' self-government. It meets in session twice a year. Like other political assemblies, such as national parliaments or local/regional councils, the sessions are formal gatherings where the Congress members examine reports, hold thematic debates and adopt recommendations.

The Congress and youth participation Since October 2014, the Congress has invited young people from different backgrounds – youth activists, youth workers, students, young politicians – to take part in its sessions, to have their say in the debates and to exchange with Congress members on the issues on the agenda. Since 2016, as an integral part of their participation, youth delegates have been required to develop their own projects at local and regional level in between the sessions. 

Travel, subsistence and accommodation The youth delegates’ travel and subsistence expenses will be covered by the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities according to the Council of Europe’s rules. Accommodation will be provided and paid for by the organisers, in single-occupancy or shared rooms according to availability. The organisers cannot cover the cost of accommodation elsewhere. 

Deadline for submission: 17 September 2018
