National Youth Councils are supposed to represent youth on national, european and international level. For many of these young people, who sometimes even make their first contact with european youth policy, it is difficult to get a general insight into the mechanisms and all the youth related topics discussed at the different levels. For them, but also for any other actor in the youth sector it is important to have the possibility for exchange and discussion in order to understand all implications and for beeing able to further develop their own approach and activites. Each youth council has a specific background, has different experiences and views, and face problems in different way. These changing perspectives can be very rewarding for the work of each youth organization and can contribute to the understanding of the different European contexts. The seminar will offer a platform for exchange, discussion and a melting pot of knowledge and experience to the representants of National Youth Councils from the Luxemburg, Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, United Kingdom, Ireland, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, who are active members of the European Youth Forum and who are regularly confronted to new developments in the area of european youth policy. During 3 days, the meeting will give the participants the opportunity to discuss a great variety of youth related issues, topical at national or european level. The outcomes of this meeting will be used for further discussion and follow up by the members of the BBC+ for their daily work at different level until the next meetings. By using the methods of non formal education, the project will give all representants room for sharing their concerns and point of views. The work agenda will be defined by the working group itself so to be beneficiant to all of the participants.
