EUSALP Youth Council at the @_eusalp Annual Forum

EUSALP Youth Council at the @_eusalp Annual Forum 2023 ⬇️
Last week, we attended the EUSALP annual forum, which marked the end of the Swiss presidency in 2023. 🇨🇭🗓️

A delegation from the EUSALP Youth Council actively participated in the program of this significant event. Youth participation took various forms, including:

- Representation in thematic roundtable discussions. 💬
- Speaking at the EUSALP 2023 General Assembly. 🎤
- Engaging in discussions with political representatives from Alpine regions present in Bad-Ragaz. 🍸🗣️

This kind of official event, which can be likened to a political summit for the Alpine region, provides young people with a better understanding of the intricacies of politics and international relations. 🌍🤝🇪🇺

As demonstrated by the event organizers, politics within the framework of a macro-regional strategy of the European Commission offers an opportunity to convey messages throughout the Alpine region. To achieve this, it is essential to use the right tools, strike the right tone, maintain balance in one's statements, and ensure precision to confirm that the message has been effectively transmitted. 📣✉️

Once these principles are put into practice, what message would you share with the other members of @_eusalp ? 🤔🏔️

Today we end our presentation of the members of the youth council who have completed 2 years of mandates. 👏
It's Leandra's turn, she represented Tyrol and Austria in the @_eusalp Youth Council.🇦🇹🇪🇺

Two weeks ago we celebrated her 20th birthday together in Strasbourg. 🥳🎂
It was a great moment of sharing and happiness which is part of the experience of joining the youth council.

When you think about it, Leandra joined the youth council when she was 18 years old. She was one of the youngest and therefore one of the bravest. 2 years at this age is a lot! A lot happens and you grow up twice as fast.

She still has many things to discover and many causes to defend…
We hope that after her 2 years, this experience has brought her beautiful memories and competences for the continuation of her commitments.

Happy birthday again @leandrakreisser 🏔️🎂😍

Last weekend the members of the EUSALP youth council were in Strasbourg for an internal meeting. 🇪🇺🇫🇷

They had the chance to meet the members of the regional youth council of Grand-Est 🥨🍺Their projects are really interesting and their organization can be a good inspiration for the participation of young people in @_eusalp

After 2 years of existence, the EUSALP youth council has always had the will to create links with other youth initiatives in the Alps, but also in Europe. 🔗🏔️

That's why we already have exchanges with the @ciprayouthcouncil or the @ypac.official members.
This must continue and we must converge our ideas and our means to reach new summits in terms of youth participation.😍💪🏼

Let’s introduce Aaron Okon who represented Germa

Let’s introduce Aaron Okon who represented Germany and the Baden-Württemberg region during the last 2 years in the @eusalp Y.C 🇩🇪 ⛰️

Aaron is the creative one in the team. He always creates while staying connected to digital tools. That's his thing! Throughout his mandate Aaron has been faithful to his commitment to the EUSALP youth council. He has participated in many of the youth council meetings and has been able to contribute in his own way. All we can wish him is that he keeps his motivation to be a German, European and Alpine citizen! 🇪🇺🏔️🇩🇪

Bis bald Aaron ! 👏

The internal meetings of the @_eusalp youth counci

The internal meetings of the @_eusalp youth council are important for the group dynamics.

It is an opportunity to work on projects but also to discover the Alpine region and the European institutions.

From tomorrow the youth council will meet in Strasbourg for 3 days of meetings. 🇫🇷🇪🇺

Stay tuned, we will share our adventures on Instagram 📲
