The Institute of Entrepreneurship Development is organizing their national workshop, in the context of the Youth In Action Programme – eCLAU on Thursday, June 04 2009 in Larissa, Greece, with the title “ACT-IVE EUROPEAN YOUTH: You can make a Difference”.

We encourage youth, NGO representatives, representatives of local authorities and other individuals working in the field of youth or who may be interested in participating in the workshop to join us on Thursday, June 04. The workshop will allow for all participants to engage in active discussion concerning issues relating to the upcoming EU Elections, youth participation and the effects that the European Parliament has on development in the field of climate change, resulting in constructive dialogue and the presentation of the views of the public of Greece.

On April 29th, ASAEL held the seminar “Youth Participation in Europe: fighting together against climate change.”

The Aragonese Association of Local Authorities (ASAEL), through the project “eCLAU”, approved under the European Program “Youth in Action”, has realized a seminar about youth participation in EU Environmental policies, particularly in the fight against climate change through new technologies.

With the implementation of this conference and therefore with the project “eCLAU”, we want to bring closer young people to the European democratic system by promoting their participation in democratic processes particularly through ICT and the use of forums. Taking the advantage of the proximity of the European elections next June 7th and the climate change as one of the most active fields for participation.
