The Youth Center for Europe and International Relations is an initiative of a small group of young people from different countries of the Union aimed at creating a platform for working on the European construction and for spreading ideas and analysis of the problems that affect both the European and the world society as a whole. This initiative is special because of its young and common dimension which transgresses national boundaries and explores the European conscience.

 We believe in Europe. We strongly believe that the Union represents a clear success of conflict resolution, of peaceful communion, democracy, security and regional stability which is unique in the world in its extent and complexity. However, as is the case for any super-structure, it is confronts with problems both of shape and of content which we must face and solve. One of those problems is the limited room in the decision making process for the citizens’ opinion in general and for that of the young in particular, a situation resulting in the so called “democratic deficit”.

This is why we decided to make use of all the means made available to us by the information society and by the new technologies and thereby to act through the cooperation among young and motivated people coming from all the countries of Europe. We are counting on the civil society and on its potential for change and therefore we decided to create an association which is open to the collaboration of the citizens and which is focused on bringing information, training and new ideas in order to continue building and improving our society, to counter by thought and action the global problems of the XXI-st century and finally to keep on walking on the road of the impossible dream envisaged by the founding fathers of the Union more than 50 years ago.
