What are we talking about?

In the European Year of Youth, the EU held its 4th Public Participation and Deliberative Democracy Festival, with a focus on youth involved in democratic decision-making processes. EUROPARC engaged with this festival by showcasing the EUROPARC Youth Manifesto.

In this episode, you will learn how EUROPARC Federation collaborates with youth to share their visions and voices with their communities and help them create a better future. The Manifesto is one of the sources of ideas and inspiration for decision-makers in Protected Areas and rural communities to ensure the involvement and empowerment of young people. Its implementation has started in at least 4 countries and is a top priority for EUROPARC.
