As news is spreading about the existence of this book, these questions come up more and more often: „Is it worth making an issue out of the elimination of a local youth council? There are so many more important issues in a town!”
Our manifest
The Children and Youth Union of VE-GA is a national NGO for the defence and assertion of the rights of the children and youth. It has approximatly 2000 members, between 10 and 30 year-old. It is an essential aim to help the youngsters to be independent citizens who keep not only their national identity but their healthy localpatriotism too. We initiate wide-ranging activities and trainings for developing their public life and we organize regularly summer camps and cultural activities with and for them.

In the course of Euro-Atlantic integration we have built international relationship with youth NGOs at home and abroad. In the past years we have created bilateral relationships with youth NGOs of several EU member states. Now we think to be mature enough to participate in trilateral projects. This way delegates of the VE-GA have joined two international trainings. One of these is on the methodology if intercultural education, the other concentrates on the preparation and realisation trilateral projects.
