Welcoming letter. We, the organizing team, are very pleased to welcome you at the European Youth Forum 2013

Dear participants!

We, the organizing team, are very pleased to welcome you at the European Youth Forum 2013. We strongly believe that together we can make this forum unforgettable.

Today, the European Union is facing different problems that need be solved to maintain high living standards and to provide prosperous life for future generations.

Economic and social issues are considered to be of current interest at all times. You, as members of the Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion (EMPL) Department of the European Commission, are supposed to discuss one of the most urgent problems of the European Union – the rising unemployment in EU and how to prevent it.

You will also have a unique opportunity to listen to our special guest – Professor A. Gerrits from the Leiden University, Netherlands, with his lecture covering the current problems of the EU and discuss the EU-Russia cooperation with Sielski Mariusz, College of Europe representative.

Think critically, work properly and cooperate effectively. Perhaps, you will find some state of art solutions to create recommendations on solving this acute problem. Try to think different! We believe in your consciousness, professionalism, creativity and enthusiasm which would make debates consistent, effective and interesting for you.

We hope that this guide will facilitate the process of preparing to the debates, making a research on the issues of the European Youth Forum 2013.

P.S. Take a chance to show your talents and knowledge of languages during our poetry and music evenings!

Dear participants, now it’s your time to start making contribution to the forum!

Wish you good luck!

Sincerely yours,

The organizing team of the European Youth Forum
