Memo: Young Europeans discussed their social problems in Slovenia

On 18 - 21 April, the Slovenian Presidency organised a conference in which boys and girls from EU member states, EFTA countries, EU candidate countries and the Western Balkans discussed the participation of young people with fewer opportunities in society. The 156 conference participants formulated a declaration that was presented to the EU's youth Ministers and the Directors-General at the end of the conference. The discussion over the declaration will be wrapped up during the forthcoming meeting of Youth Ministers in May 2008.
