The declaration is the result of a consultation process held on November 15 in Brussels during the event “Youth for Future Cooperation – On the road to Interreg GO!”, which brought together 100 young people to contribute their perspectives on shaping the future of territorial cooperation after 2027.
The declaration contains seven recommendations, and several concrete actions aimed at facilitating their implementation. Overall, these conclusions stress the importance of four main issues:
- Integrating and empowering border regions to create a more connected and inclusive approach to border regions in areas such as transport, education, and labour markets.
- Breaking down barriers to foster cooperation and making it easier for people and businesses to work together across borders.
- Involving everyone by engaging diverse stakeholders, including young people and underrepresented communities.
- Mainstreaming youth by prioritising inclusion of young people in all policy objectives, increasing education and communication efforts.
