AN INVITATION TO THE YOUTH FOR AN OTHER EUROPE MEETING IN PARIS ON 20th AND 21st DECEMBER 1997 The signing of the Amsterdam Stability Agreement and new developments in the construction of a purely economic Europe, shows a need to extend mobilisation on a European scale in order to fight for a social Europe. At a time when young people find themselves particularly hit by continual social cuts, they should be in the forefront of the demands for a social Europe along with progressive forces that are combining together to confront the liberal offensive. Several recent events have shown that convergence exists among European youth organisations and that mobilisation on a broad front is now possible (European March against unemployment in June 1997, Venise in September 1997...).
We are inviting European youth organisations to participate in a meeting to be held in Paris, on the 20th and 21st December 1997. The proposed agenda will be the drafting of a programme for a social , ecological an democratic Europe; incorporating the demands of Youth. This meeting will also be the occasion to discuss the possibilities of common initiatives that we can all take to push Europe in the direction we want !
This Europe should work to solve the following urgent problems : -the elimination of unemployment now leading to ever growing precarity and affecting young people in particular. - to call a halt to the continual rise of the extreme right wing throughout Europe and to call a halt to an insular Europe; Youth seeks to show its solidarity with the people of the South and East. - to extend the freedom of movement to people; only money and goods have freedom of movement in the European Union ! - to work for an ecologically-based society, and to draft recommendations for a model for sustainable development. - to work for a truely democratic Europe where decision-making powers are in the hand of the people and not the money market financiers.
We extend an open invitation to all progressive youth organisations to meet in Paris to discuss the drafting of a European Youth Rigths1 Charter so as to give real expression to these demands.
