Brussels, 17/10/2013 (Agence Europe) - The European Youth Forum launched its European Election campaign with a Panel Debate on “Youth and the European Elections” held at the European Parliament on 15 October. The debate featured contributions from Doris Pack (EPP, Germany), chair of the European Parliament's culture and education committee and Jo Leinen (S&D, Germany), President of the European Movement International. The Forum's Election campaign is based around “Pledges to Youth” which MEP candidates are invited to sign. The panel discussion highlighted areas such as young people's attitudes to Europe and what the EU can do to invest in young people and overcome unemployment. The Youth Forum campaign, “LoveYouthFuture”, highlights solutions for Europe in many of these areas. “The LoveYouthFuture Pledges demonstrate how the EU can engage with young people through, for example, more youth rights, protections for young people, quality education and a more ambitious youth guarantee. We urge all MEP candidates and parties to make their Pledge to Youth”, stated Youth Forum President Peter Matjasic.
