CYEC - The Convention of Young European Citizens

In April 2003 young Europeans from 18 countries gathered in Berlin for the "Europeakonvent junger Bürgerinnen und Bürger". They were invited by the Center for Applied Policy Research, the German Federal Ministery for Youth and the Federal Press and Information Office.

In May 2004 some of the participants came to Berlin again. This time Citizens of Europe was responsible for the meeting. Again a common resolution was formulated which concentrated on the European Constitution, the Union's borders and neighbourhood and Europe's role in the world. For this event we had the support of the German Federal Press- and Information Office and of the Heinz-Schwarzkopf-Stiftung.
