The Joint Council on Youth at its 41st meeting at the European Youth Center in Strasbourg (2019)

The Advisory Council on Youth (AC) - German  advisory board on youth issues , French Conseil Consultatif sur la Jeunesse (CCJ) - of the Council of Europe is a non-governmental decision-making body of young people. It is an integral part of the unique co-management structure of the Council of Europe, which ensures equal participation of young people. All decisions in the youth field are made jointly and on an equal footing by representatives of the youth ministries of the 50 contracting states of the European cultural agreement and by young people who are represented in the Advisory Council on Youth. In the Joint Council on Youth , both groups, the Avidsory Council on Youth and the government representatives who are organized in the European Steering Committee for Youth (CDEJ), come together, where they jointly advise the Committee of Ministers on concrete recommendations for the member states, the budget of the youth sector determine and plan joint activities.

history

With the establishment of the European Youth Center in Strasbourg in 1973 and the European Youth Office in 1973, youth participation and co-management became a core value of the organization. In 1988, with a reform of the youth sector of the Council of Europe, as a follow-up to the 1st Youth Ministers' Conference in Strasbourg in 1985, which emphasized the need to promote youth participation at all levels of society, the Advisory Committee to the European Youth Center was established and the European Youth Foundation at the same time as the European Steering Committee for Youth (CDEJ). The ministers' deputies thus replaced the governing boards of young non-government representatives of the European Youth Office and the European Youth Center with a single structure. In addition, this Advisory Committee was allowed to send one member to the CDEJ meetings as an observer, and the two newly established bodies met annually for an extended general meeting from then on.

The co-management structure in its current form, with the Advisory Council on Youth and the Joint Council on Youth, was set up in 1998 by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe at its 650th session with a further reform of the youth sector of the Council of Europe and from January 1, 1999 implemented. At the beginning, the Advisory Council was also referred to as the Advisory Council of the European Youth Center and European Youth Foundation and the Advisory Council on Youth Questions .

Between 2003 and 2011, the Advisory Councils on Youth were appointed for a three-year term.

Core values

In addition to democracy and inclusion , youth participation is the core value of the co-management structure in the youth department of the Council of Europe, as it is at the same time an aim, principle and practice in the work and philosophy of the organization. The specific task of the Advisory Council on Youth is to include youth policy in the Council of Europe's program of activities by formulating recommendations, opinions and proposals on general or specific youth issues in the Council of Europe.

Thematically, the work of the Advisory Council on Youth contributes to the priorities of the youth sector of the Council of Europe, namely access for young people to human rights , youth participation and inclusive societies, as well as through the setting and promotion of standards and the development of recommendations and other texts. Currently, promoting the implementation of the latest recommendations on young refugees (2019), youth work (2017), access to rights (2016) and access to social rights (2015) is a priority.

The unique participatory co-management structure in the youth field was awarded the Future Policy Award in bronze in 2019 as part of a ceremony on the sidelines of the 141st Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union in Belgrade .

Working method

The Advisory Council on Youth at its 41st meeting at the European Youth Center in Budapest (2019)

The Advisory Board on Youth Issues consists of a total of 30 young representatives appointed by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe for a two-year mandate, including 13 young people from international non-governmental youth organizations (INGYOs) and seven representatives from national youth organizations, who are appointed on the proposal of the European Youth Forum . and ten members of non-governmental national or regional youth associations or networks appointed on the proposal of the Secretary General of the Council of Europe . The 20 representatives of the European Youth Forum are democratically elected beforehand by its member organizations, usually at their Council of Members (COMEM) in Brussels in spring .

The Advisory Council on Youth holds two meetings each year, usually one in spring at the European Youth Center in Budapest and one in autumn at the European Youth Center in Strasbourg.

The Programming Committee on Youth (CPJ) , which is made up of eight members each from the CDEJ and the AC, creates, monitors and evaluates the programs of the European Youth Centers and the European Youth Office (EYF). It makes the decisions on all applications submitted to the EYF as well as on the further training courses organized in cooperation with the European Youth Centers in the youth field.

At the first meeting of every two-year mandate, the Advisory Council on Youth elects the so-called bureau from its members , the political leadership consisting of a chairman, a deputy chairman and three other members.
