AEGEE-Leiden is honored to host the Final Conference of Europe on Track 7
from the 16th to the 19th of April. The theme of this year’s edition of
Europe on Track is ‘Social Inclusion: From Gender Equality to Mental
Health’. The Europe on Track ambassadors will be travelling through Europe
to visit different locals for interesting workshops, sessions and surveys
regarding this theme.

The final conference of this amazing project will take place in Leiden and
will be aimed mainly towards Mental Health, but of course the themes of
Gender Equality and inclusivity will be implemented too. The ambassadors
will present the results of their journey during the event. On top of that,
lots of interesting sessions and workshops will take place in collaboration
with the Youth Development Working Group as well as with other external
professional organizations.

Do you want to learn more about Mental Health? This event is aimed at
providing knowledge and raising awareness about Mental Health issues, which
will be addressed from different perspectives and angles. By doing so, we
hope to be able to undermine persistent taboos together with all
participants – let’s Break The Psycle together!

*What do we offer?*

   - Accommodation in a gym;
   - Three meals a day;
   - 40 new friends;
   - Presentation of the results of the Europe on Track Ambassadors;
   - Interesting workshops, (panel)discussions, trainings and lectures on
   Mental Health;

   - Social program!

The application form will be in the next newsletter, stay tuned!
POLICY SPOTLIGHT <http:>
*Youth Participation News *

   - Intergroups in the European Parliament are platforms for MEPs to
   discuss particular issues with various affected stakeholders. The youth
   intergroup has been a decisive channel for youth NGOs to be part of a
   discussion and influence policy makers. In December the European Parliament
   formed new intergroups for its current legislative term (2019-2024). For
   the first time since 2009 there will be no intergroup that covers the
   topics of youth matters. So, young people got politically engaged and voted
   in the EP elections, but now their representatives are no longer interested
   in their voices? Read more about it here
   <https://www.youthforum.org/dontfailepyouth>.

   - The format of the “Conference on the Future of Europe” that is planned
   to be held by the European Union in 2020-22 is taking a first shape. On
   Wednesday, 15/01 the European Parliament adopted a resolution which
   promises two youth agora as input generators of the conference. Read the
   press release here. Twelve civil society organizations - among them AEGEE -
   call for a Conference that makes a difference. Read the full
   recommendations here
   <https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20200109IPR69906/citizens-to-be-the-cornerstone-of-the-conference-on-the-future-of-europe>
   .

   - The Council of the Baltic Sea States (CBSS) introduces a Youth
   Platform in order for youth organizations to have a more structured
   communication channel and opportunities to influence policy makers of the
   Baltic region. This goes back to an initiative by Baltic youth
   organizations. Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Latvia,
   Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Russia & Sweden, as well as the EU are members
   of CBSS. Read more about it here
   <https://www.cbss.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Summary-Youth-Platform.pdf>
   .

*European Citizenship News *

   - EU Parliament, with 494 votes for, 147 against and 49 abstentions,
   backed this week a resolution setting out the Parliament's vision for the
   forthcoming Conference on the Future of Europe. Considering the last point
   of President VdL guidelines (the strengthening of our democracy) and the
   enthusiasm emerging from the majority forces inside the Parliament, the
   upcoming consultations (a youth Agora will also launched) appears to offer
   new perspectives to build a more united and progressive Europe. Guy
   Verhofstadt, of the centrist Renew Europe Group, is the most probable
   designated leader to take the role of Chair of the Conference. Read more
   here <http://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/B-9-2020-0036_EN.html>
