AER Youth Team Meeting & Youth Citizens' Forum

AER Youth Team Meeting

AER Youth Team is going to have a meeting in Olomouc (CZ) in order to update the Working Programme 2009 as well as to give report from the recent activities. Young members will meet as well Mr. Radovan Rastak, vice-president of the region with responsibility culture and sport. The AER Youth Team is a unique structure to involve young people in the work of an international organisation. The AER Youth Team members have the opportunity to give input to the AER’s work to make contributions and to make the voice of young people heard among the European regions.

Every year, at the AER Youth Summer School, all the AER Youth Ambassadors elect the AER Youth Team for the next two years. These elected Youth Team members then become the representatives on youth issues in the AER and meet regularly in Europe to coordinate their activities. The new AER Youth Team consists of 8 young people. The young representatives were elected at the AER Youth Summer School in Ostersund, Jamtland (S) on the 28th August 2008.
