Resolution of the Council and of the Representatives of the Governments of the Member States, meeting within the Council, on encouraging new and effective forms of participation of all young people in democratic life in Europe

2011/C 169/01

THE COUNCIL AND THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE MEMBER STATES, MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL,

1.   RECALLING THE POLITICAL BACKGROUND TO THIS ISSUE AS SET OUT IN THE ANNEX, IN PARTICULAR THAT:

| 1. | Article 165 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union provides for European Union action to be aimed at encouraging the participation of young people in democratic life in Europe. |
| --- | --- |

1.

Article 165 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union provides for European Union action to be aimed at encouraging the participation of young people in democratic life in Europe.

| 2. | The Resolution on a renewed framework for European cooperation in the youth field (2010-2018) (1) refers to the promotion of young people’s active citizenship among its overall objectives, and identifies participation as one of its eight fields of action. The Resolution states that recognising all young people as a resource to society, and upholding the right of young people to participate in the development of policies affecting them by means of a continuous structured dialogue with young people and youth organisations, are among the guiding principles that should be observed in all policies and activities concerning young people. |

The Resolution on a renewed framework for European cooperation in the youth field (2010-2018) (1) refers to the promotion of young people’s active citizenship among its overall objectives, and identifies participation as one of its eight fields of action. The Resolution states that recognising all young people as a resource to society, and upholding the right of young people to participate in the development of policies affecting them by means of a continuous structured dialogue with young people and youth organisations, are among the guiding principles that should be observed in all policies and activities concerning young people.

2.   TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THAT:

| 1. | Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union states that ‘the Union is founded on the values of respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and respect for human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities’. Article 10(3) of the Treaty on European Union recognises every citizen's right to participate in the democratic life of the European Union. |

Article 10(3) of the Treaty on European Union recognises every citizen's right to participate in the democratic life of the European Union.

| 2. | Articles 11 and 12 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union state that everyone has the right to freedom of expression, to peaceful assembly and association. Article 24 declares that children may express their views freely, and stipulates that such views shall be taken into consideration on matters that concern them in accordance with their age and maturity. |

Article 24 declares that children may express their views freely, and stipulates that such views shall be taken into consideration on matters that concern them in accordance with their age and maturity.

3.   RECOGNISE THAT:

| 1. | Young people face multiple challenges today relating to unemployment, its link to the risk of poverty, and lower educational attainment and early school-leaving in particular areas (2). In some Member States, participation of young people in elections is below average. |

Young people face multiple challenges today relating to unemployment, its link to the risk of poverty, and lower educational attainment and early school-leaving in particular areas (2). In some Member States, participation of young people in elections is below average.

| 2. | Young people have valuable contributions to make to the development of society. Their involvement in finding responses to societal problems and challenges is essential in order to allow all young people to make full use of their abilities and to find practicable, meaningful and sustainable solutions. |

Their involvement in finding responses to societal problems and challenges is essential in order to allow all young people to make full use of their abilities and to find practicable, meaningful and sustainable solutions.

| 3. | The findings of public consultations and the EU Youth Report show that young people regard their contribution to shaping societal development as a key priority, via the channels and tools of participatory democracy (3). Recognising the voice of young people in all policy and decision-making processes that affect them is vital. |

| 4. | Better understanding is needed of the reasons behind the decline in traditional memberships of organisations and the low average participation of young people in the mechanisms of representative democracy. |

4.

Better understanding is needed of the reasons behind the decline in traditional memberships of organisations and the low average participation of young people in the mechanisms of representative democracy.

| 5. | Young people's increased participation can contribute to social, political, cultural and economic development, and, if a larger number of people and ideas are represented in the public sphere, decisions will be better grounded. |
| --- | --- |

5.

Young people's increased participation can contribute to social, political, cultural and economic development, and, if a larger number of people and ideas are represented in the public sphere, decisions will be better grounded.

| 6. | Both representative and participatory democracy are increasingly linked to the use of media and e-participation that can improve access to in-depth information and widen the scope for involving a higher number of people in opinion-building and decision-making processes; it can also provide more young people with the opportunity to produce, rather than simply consume, information. |

4.   ACKNOWLEDGE THAT:

| 1. | The participation of young people in democratic life provides real opportunities for involvement in decision-making. It calls on decision-makers to take the opinions expressed by young people into consideration, encouraging a general climate of dialogue within society, encompassing social justice, critical thinking, active contributions and expressions of opinion, using the tools, means and opportunities provided by representative and participatory democracy at all levels of society. |

| 3. | The ‘Youth in Action’ programme provides a valuable tool for promoting young people's participation, not the least among young people with fewer opportunities, stimulating their involvement in local, regional and international projects, reflecting on their needs and ideas, as well as fostering their sense of responsibility. |

5.   CONSIDER THAT:

| 1. | To achieve active and successful participation in society, widespread knowledge on how to participate and on the respect for human rights and non-violence is crucial. |

Voluntary activities as a form of participation play a key role in society and provide opportunities and tools for improving personal skills and a sense of solidarity and of social responsibility.

| 3. | Adequate information and learning opportunities in formal education and non-formal learning are essential to enhancing participation of young people. Participation must be considered as a process which starts from an early age and continues throughout life. Therefore, participation should take place in all areas of life, for example in the family, in formal education, non-formal and informal learning as well as training, in out-of-school activities and in employment. |

| 4. | For effective participation in society, young people must acquire and develop key competences necessary for lifelong learning, especially communication skills, e-skills, learning to learn, social and civic competences, as well as cultural awareness and expression; participation also encourages the acquisition of key competences. Society should place great emphasis on the promotion of equal and open access to lifelong learning for all young people. |

Society should place great emphasis on the promotion of equal and open access to lifelong learning for all young people.

| 5. | Participation in democratic life is a mutual and continuous process. Young people should be involved in the development, implementation and evaluation of policies that affect them. Providing regular feedback to young people on the outcome of structured dialogue, public consultations or other forms of participation is critical. Similarly, it is important to provide information about the decision-making process and implementation of measures in areas that young people consider relevant. |

6.   EMPHASISE THAT:

| 1. | Access to information is key to participation. Despite the existence of different European information structures, networks and channels, a significant number of young people do not have access to the information necessary for participating in democratic life. New information and communication technologies (ICTs) can provide tools to connect young people with their communities and democratic structures and encourage their participation. |

New information and communication technologies (ICTs) can provide tools to connect young people with their communities and democratic structures and encourage their participation.

| 2. | New media can be complementary to and interlinked with traditional participation processes and information channels. They can offer quick and attractive user-friendly tools for young people not only in their everyday communication but also in terms of encouraging their participation in democratic life. Using new or traditional media for delivering messages to and by young people in relation to participation in community life and representative democracy can be an appropriate way of adjusting to the needs of young people, since many of them use new ICTs regularly in their daily life. |

| 3. | Given that a large number of citizens have access to ICTs and the capacity to use them, ICTs can make mass consultations, large-scale, transnational debates and widespread participation possible and, depending on the methods used, they can contribute to making involvement in democratic decision-making more transparent all over Europe. |

| 4. | Improving key competences and media literacy of young people to enable them better to decode, use, influence and produce media is key to their being able to participate properly in democratic life. Both formal education systems and non-formal learning play an essential role here, and establishing further contacts between the two areas would therefore be beneficial for both sides. Youth work is important for imparting information and developing media literacy and e-skills in order to enhance effective participation. |
