It is our deep conviction that the ideas, energies and voices of young women and men are vital for the development of any society. Only permanent educational and informational work, along with personal attitude and activism of an individual can lead to the creation of stable cooperation between all the relevant factors within a society and in the end, lead to change in that society. In order to build a modern European society, it is essential to encourage young people to take part in formal politics and have a say in decisions and actions that affect their lives. With this in mind, the planned YE 'My Decision – Europe is ON!' will serve as an opportunity for youngsters from EU 27 and SEE to meet, find out about each others realities, exchange best practice examples, ideas and experiences which will in the end give them the necessary knowledge and set of practical skills to promote civic activism and active participation in the democratic processes in their local communities, enabling them to develop and to run certain local activities in order to translate the learning outcomes of the YE into practice, all in the context of the upcoming MEP Elections in 2014. Attending the YE will help the participants to build capacities for developing and implementing such projects and to develop partnerships for future action in this field. The YE will be based on open-space methodology, giving the opportunuty to the participants to design their own agenda and raise questions that are relevant to their personal work which will in the end contribute to the development of young people's spirit of initiative, creativity and entrepreneurship. Finally the YE will support the participants to explore the opportunities of the future EACEA’s Youth Programme, to establish new contacts and create stable partnerships among organisations and to create new projects. The YE will take place in Vrnjačka Banja, Serbia, 1st-9th of March 2014.
