Description
The European Parliament is committed to building strong and lasting relations with future leaders outside of the European Union. The European Parliament Young Political Leaders Programme expands on existing activities conducted by the Parliament, such as the Annual Fora for Young Leaders from the European Neighbourhood (Maghreb, Middle East, Eastern Partnership), and the Young Political Leaders initiative for the Sudan, in order to develop a more coherent and harmonised approach to engaging in peaceful dialogue with young leaders from third countries. It also aims to contribute to long-term confidence building and reconciliation in these countries. This instrument for dialogue was endorsed by the European Parliament's Democracy Support and Election Coordination Group (DEG) in April 2015, with its primary objective to target young political activists, including political party representatives, civil society actors and young business leaders in the European Neighbourhood countries, priority countries agreed under the European Parliament's Comprehensive Democracy Support Approach (CDSA), and ad hoc countries requiring assistance in the area of parliamentary conflict prevention and democracy support.Details
