The Think Tank-project announce an Open Call
for its first International Youth Conference
discussing a democratic and open society
Bold young people and decision-makers have one thing in common: they do not accept things as is, and they are convinced that they can change the world. On November 11-14 are we setting up a unique meeting – we bring together forward-thinking young people and like-minded influential European decision makers to a powerful encounter for change within the think tank’s first International Youth Conference. Some thirty 18 to 24 year’s old Europeans from cities, suburbs, and countryside, will meet to a four-day conference at the Swedish Exhibition & Congress Center in Gothenburg. The conference participants will engage in discussions evolving around appointed tasks, and they will share their life stories and experiences, visions, and longings for the future. The conference will end with an open meeting at which the youth present their ideas and suggestions on how to sustain a democratic and open society. Cecilia Malmström, Jan-Olof Jacke, and Monica Frassoni, who are members of the think tank international reference group, will be commentators. Region Västra Götaland, City of Gothenburg, and European Commission’s Swedish Representation sponsor the conference.

MAKE A STAND – LET’S BUILD OUR FUTURE TOGETHER!
TYM publishes a variety of media contents – texts, caricatures, photos, video-clips – created by young people, youth workers, experts, and all others that wish and have something to say about youth policy.
Geographically, TYM is primarily targeting European and Latin American countries, but it also publishes important news and initiatives in the field of youth policy worldwide.
The e-Magazine gives special attention to youth media activism, wishing to present the examples of best practices of using different media for youth activism.
Besides authored articles, TYM also gathers together relevant articles from other web-sites. TYM e-Magazine is thus a virtual space where visitors are able to get information about the international situation and problems of youth policy, and the place where young authors are able to write articles and other content intended for improving the youth policy internationally. In this respect, it has vital importance for the intraregional and transregional association, understanding, coming together, promoting dialogue and cooperation.
