The Youth Association for a Greater Europe, was spontaneously created by youth from all over the world, at a conference.
The initiative was quickly endorsed by the Council of Europe, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the French European Youth Parliament, among many others.
Their aim is to encourage active interaction between youth from the entire continent, from Iceland to the Ural Mountain, in order to change the stereotyped vision and historical baggage between nations, and to ultimately make the youth aware of the common heritage and shared values in all European countries, so we are able to fruitfully cooperate in order to build our future.
