Introduction
The ‘Young People for Human Rights’ seminar was held in the frame of Polish
Presidency in Visegrad Group (V4). The main subject of the seminar was the
participation of young people in Human Rights activities. The main objectives of the
seminar were to present good practice from the represented countries and work on
possible future developments. The main target groups of the seminar were:
representatives of line ministries in the field of youth, national coordinators of the
Council of Europe No Hate Speech Movement (NHSM) and representatives of
National Agencies of Erasmus+ Youth programme and youth activists, especially
representatives of National Youth Councils. Participants came from V4: Czech
Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland and Eastern Partnership (EaP) Countries:
Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine.
The seminar programme included a number of welcome and opening speeches (by
representatives of the Ministry of National Education of Poland, the Foundation for
the Development of the Education System, the Council of Europe, and the Ministry of
Education of the Czech Republic) followed by working groups on three core topics:
human rights in the digital environment, participation of young people in the field of
human rights and cross-sectoral cooperation, study visits to local youth organisations
in Warsaw, presentations of Czech, Polish and Hungarian V4 Presidencies and their
priorities and a panel discussion on support tools for youth organisations in V4 and
EaP such as the Solidarity Fund (PL), Visegrad Fund, the partnership between
Council of Europe and the European Commission and SALTO EECA Resource
Centre. Additionally, the seminar provided a platform for a series of meetings of
NHSM Co-ordinators from V4 and EaP countries with the CoE Campaign Co-
ordinator.
The seminar allowed to formulate a Message from participants with their key findings
to be submitted to the 3rd Eastern Partnership Youth Forum to be held in Warsaw
(Poland) on 22-23 June 2017.

Opening session
Mr Grzegorz Chorąży
Deputy Director
Strategy and International Co-operation Department
Ministry of National Education, Poland
Thanked all attendees and reiterated the importance of V4 co-operation and its youth
dimension, an important element of people to people contacts between V4 and EaP
countries. The Ministry appreciates the need to engage all stakeholders, and in a
similar fashion the Polish V4 Presidency aims reflect the interests of all countries
involved. For Poland making young people active citizens and empowering them is a
really important policy area and as it is an idea shared by all countries it was chosen
as a priority area. Mr Chorąży highlighted the importance of the Council of Europe’s
NHSM campaign as a shared experience to be built upon and thanked the Council of
Europe for their participation and input. Mr Chorąży highlighted Poland’s experiences
in the field of youth empowerment that the Ministry would like to encourage youth to
engage in all aspects of social life including volunteering at schools. Mr Chorąży
encouraged the seminar participants to use the opportunity to meet Polish NGOs
and forge future partnerships. The Ministry also hopes that the seminar will inform
the main EaP event in Poland this year – the 3rd Eastern Partnership Youth Forum
planned to take place in Warsaw in June 2017.
Dr Paweł Poszytek
Director General
Foundation for the Development of the Education System, Poland
Dr Poszytek welcomed all esteemed guests and thanked them for their attendance.
He underlined that the Foundation values and encourages co-operation across

borders at regional and European level as it operates a number of programmes, not
only European but also bilateral – a very particular time to do so as the EU Erasmus
Programme celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. Poland has a track record of
international educational co-operation since 1998 and even though it is a junior
partner compared with other EU countries, the learning curve was a great
experience and Poland now appreciates that the space for debate on Europe’s
challenges and the number of programmes is expanding. Mr Poszytek encouraged
the seminar participants to seize the opportunities of the new EU4Youth programme
for Eastern Partnership countries, notably the Eastern Partnership Youth Window
especially that its first deadline is fast approaching.
Ms Zdenka Maskova
Head of Youth Policy Unit
Youth Department
Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport, Czech Republic
Ms Maskova thanked all organisers and outlined the main events leading up to the
seminar. The cooperation was initiated by the Slovak V4 Presidency when a CDEJ
member from Georgia was invited as an observer to an annual V4 meeting in
Bratislava in May 2011. Afterwards, the Georgian Ministry of Youth and Sport invited
the directors of V4 ministerial youth departments to Tbilisi in July 2011 to discuss the
cooperation between V4 and EaP countries in the field of youth. All the annual and
thematic V4 and EaP events were further supported by: the partnership between the
European Commission and the Council of Europe in the field of youth, SALTO
Eastern Europe and Caucasus Resource Centre and PL and CZ Erasmus+ National
Agencies. During the Czech V4 Presidency (2011-2012) the representatives of EaP
countries were invited to join the first annual V4 and EaP meeting in Prague (May
2012). During this meeting the participants agreed on developing cooperation
between V4 and EaP countries in the field of youth on three levels: among ministries
responsible for youth, Youth in Action national agencies and national youth councils.

Under the succeeding Polish V4 Presidency (1. 7. 2012 – 30. 6. 2013) in Sulejówek,
Poland, in April 2013 the Comparative Study of the Situation of Youth in the
Countries of the Visegrad Group was introduced, covering areas such as
participation and decision-making, volunteerism, non-formal education as well as
employment and entrepreneurship (Ewa Krzaklewska; Council of Europe 2013).
In the annual V4 and EaP annual meeting under the Hungarian V4 Presidency (1. 7.
2013 – 30. 6. 2014) in March 2014, the V4 and Georgian participants evaluated the
results of the cooperation. It was for the first time when an idea of signing the
Memorandum of Cooperation between V4 and EaP Countries in the Field of Youth
was heard. Slovakia and Georgia took there their responsibility for drafting the text of
Memorandum. Under the subsequent Slovak V4 Presidency (1. 7. 2014 – 30. 6.
2015) Memorandum of Cooperation between the Ministries of Countries of Visegrad
Group Responsible for Youth and the Ministries of Countries of Eastern Partnership
to European Union Responsible for Youth in Youth Field was signed in Bratislava in
June 22, 2015. The Czech Republic supported the Slovak V4 Presidency by
organising a thematic working seminar for V4 and EaP countries on volunteerism of
young people in Prague in September 2014 in a close cooperation with SALTO
EECA and the Czech Erasmus+ National Agency (Centre for International
Cooperation in Education).
The Czech V4 Presidency (1. 7. 2015 – 30. 6. 2016) organised “Youth Policy and
Youth Work: Working Seminar on Cooperation between Visegrad Group, Romania
and Eastern Partnership Countries" on October 6 – 7, 2015 which resulted in a joint
Action Plan of cooperation between Visegrad Group and Eastern Partnership
countries in the youth field 2015 - 2017.
The priority of the Czech V4 Presidency in the youth field was to enable Romania to
join the cooperation between V4 and EaP countries in the field of youth as an equal
partner in so-called V4+ format on request of the Romanian Deputy Minister
responsible for youth (a Romanian delegation took an active part in this seminar).
Later on, the annual V4 and EaP meeting (social inclusion) was organised in June
2016. Mr Maskova offered some tentative conclusions and taking points for future
V4-EaP co-operation: general discussions on the state of play of national youth
policies were changed to seminars on thematic fields of youth policy; presentations
Polish Presidency of the Visegrad Group July 2016 – June 2017
7
of national delegations on the same topic were changed to reflective discussions on
thematic aspects of youth policy and study visits; the V4+ format brings about new
challenges and opportunities, including the participation of new countries such as
Romania and Serbia.
Mr Hovsep Khurshudyan, Mr Grigor Yeritsyan
Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum
Mr Khurshudyan summarised the activities of the EaP CSF including annual forum,
working group meetings and grant support system and the EaP Youth Conference
“Youth for Rights” held in Bratislava in 2016. The aim of the Conference was to
facilitate cooperation and networking between participants engaged in the
Conference so as to create stronger and trust-based bonds for the future, and create
synergies between EaP Youth Conference from one side and next EaP Youth Forum
2017 (Warsaw), EaP Civil Society Forum Annual Assembly 2016 (November,
Brussels) and the next Eastern Partnership Platform 4 meeting 2016 (December,
Brussels) from the other side, taking part in developing of priorities and an agenda
for both EaP events. The event brought together youth representatives of the civic
initiatives and civil society organisations working in the field of human rights and
youth rights advocacy in the EU and EaP countries, international experts,
representatives of the human rights movements from post-soviet countries, including
those from the EU. It involved 120 young people from both the Eastern Partnership
(15 people from each country: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and
Ukraine), Russia (10 people) and European Union Member States (20 people). Also,
international experts (5 people), trainers (5 people), facilitators (7 people) and invited
guests (15 people) from the EaP and EU, representatives of SALTO Youth,
European Youth Forum, V4 Youth Council and Youth Council of Slovakia, previous
EaP Youth Forums, as well as donors. One of the main outputs of the conference
were EaP CSF recommendations. The following recommendations to the EU were
developed:
- To create measures allowing youth CSOs, non-formal initiatives and civic
activists to be better included in decision making processes. Encourage a

minimum youth presence in consultations over EaP programmes and bilateral
agreements.
- Create a watchdog mechanism for monitoring the spending of EU funding.
Involve youth CSOs in discussing how funds should be allocated and improve
funding mechanisms so that CSOs have greater access to funding.
- The EU should assist national governments in encouraging entrepreneurship
by prioritising education programmes such as Erasmus for Young
Entrepreneurs. The EU should continue to support exchange programmes
and research programmes and ensure that these target the most marginalised
groups.
- Introduce measures to discourage states from repressing CSOs and advocate
for fast and non-exclusive CSO registration. Call for the release of imprisoned
civil society representatives, activists, and other political prisoners. Assist civil
society in monitoring human rights situations free of persecution
- Engage in dialogue with CSOs, human rights defenders and youth activists
about support to civil society and ensure that youth activist can meet with EU
officials during visits. The EU must put pressure on national governments to
heed the policy recommendations of CSOs.
- The conference also resulted in producing recommendations to EaP
governments, notably:
- Encourage broader recognition of non-formal education, particularly on the
issues discussed (civic education, inclusion, democracy, environmental issues
etc.).
- Education should adopt both theoretical and practical methods with the option
of combining studies with work experience, volunteering or internships.
Through cooperation with Higher Education Institutions and employers, non-
formal education can be encouraged through career counselling and
mentoring programmes in cooperation with businesses and local
organisations
- National Governments should invest greater resources in modernising
education and adequately training teachers at all levels
Polish Presidency of the Visegrad Group July 2016 – June 2017

- National governments must strive for full and non-biased implementation of
Bologna process reforms
- Prevent discrimination in access to education and employment by allowing
this to be monitored by giving CSOs access to educational institutions and
national statistics. Promote and support the collection of data by independent
research institutions on issues related to inclusion, tolerance and diversity in
education and the workplace
- National EaP governments should create a friendly environment for SMEs
and start-ups for young people by establishing support mechanisms such as
tax reduction and preferential loans.
- National governments should launch transparent and independent anti-
corruption agencies on the national level, implement legislation about the e-
declaration of incomes of public officials, and develop systems of transparent
public procurements in the EaP states
- National governments of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Belarus should refrain from
repressing CSOs and ensure fast and non-exclusive CSO registration. The
imprisoned civil society representatives, activists, and other political prisoners
should be immediately released
Mr Menno Ettema
Campaign Co-ordinator
No Hate Speech Movement
Mr Ettema thanked the organisers and praised title of this seminar Young People for
Human Rights is simple, clear and yet very engaging - it reads ‘yes, young people
care - they take action for a better world, so let’s get on with it’! Taking the No Hate
Speech Movement as a reference point illustrates just that. The Council of Europe
stands fully behind the conviction that youth can act for human rights, democracy
and rule of law in Europe. The CoE supports member states and civil society across
Europe to do just that through policy development, standard setting and capacity-
building programmes. The NHSM is a youth campaign of the Council of Europe. It
Polish Presidency of the Visegrad Group July 2016 – June 2017

mobilises young people to combat hate speech and act for Human Rights online
through: reporting with the relevant authorities and counter and alternative speech
promoting human rights and democratic values. The campaign is implemented
through national campaign committees in 44 countries across Europe. They bring
together national youth and human rights organisations, national authorities and
others involved in anti-discrimination work as well as 60 European campaign
partners and 80 online activists. The NHSM is a clear example of successful youth
participation. The campaign was initiated by the youth representatives in CoE
statutory bodies following the horrific terror attack on Utoya, Norway. They believed
that young people should be mobilised to uphold human rights and democracy online
through Human Rights Education (HRE). According to Mr Ettema, the main learning
points from the campaign are:
- Some hate speech should be taken down following clear transparent rules
and procedures if it breaches national legislation that protects human dignity
and forms an imminent threat to the people it targets.
- Most Hate speech should however be countered by challenging the
underlying hateful messages, misinformation and conspiracies
- Alternative narratives are needed to occupy the online space
- Alternative narratives provide young people with different points of view and
encourage them to promote human rights and democratic values online.
- Young people (and indeed older people too) need to gain the competences
(knowledge skills and attitudes) to identify hate speech and act on it. This
means being critical consumers of online content, reflecting on its meaning
and intentions, the narrative it promotes, being decisive on what to share
further, ignore or dispute.
In 2016, the Council of Europe drafted the Competences for Democratic Culture
framework1 to understand the various skills we all need to be able to include
democracy and human rights perspectives in our lives. Amongst the 20 or so
1 More on Competences for Democratic Framework here:

Polish Presidency of the Visegrad Group July 2016 – June 2017
11
competences some of them are: openness to cultural diversity, dealing with
ambiguity, critical thinking, self-reflection, conflict resolution, amongst others.
The NHSM supports young people to gain these competences and empower them to
combat hate speech through education and awareness-raising in schools, youth
centres, sports and online across Europe. To do so the campaign has two key
educational resources:
- Bookmarks2, the manual on combatting hate speech through human rights
education provides youth workers and educators’ information and educational
activities for youth to understand hate speech and the threat it poses to
human rights and democracy.
- The new manual ‘We CAN’ to be launched on March 20. As campaigners
have found it particularly challenging to work with youth on developing an
effective response to hate speech. This manual presents communicative and
educational approaches and tools for youth and other human rights activists
to develop their own counter and alternative narratives to hate speech. It is
designed for working with young people from the age of 13. Based on the
principles of human rights education and youth participation.
Combining these tools will provide hands-on guidance to address hate speech and
counter extremist narratives.
It is important to highlight that learning to do Human Rights and Democracy day to
day is a shared responsibility. HRE needs a comprehensive approach accompany us
in school, the youth centre, indeed community events like festivals that is sustained
over time. The strength of the NHSM campaign relays on the shared engagement of
youth and human rights organisations, national authorities and many others. In order
to achieve this, youth participation is a must. The recently adopted Recommendation
CM (2016)7 ‘on Young People’s access to Rights’ highlights clearly the need for fully
participation of young people. Only together with young people can the barriers be
identified and taken down that prevents them from accessing sufficient healthcare,
education, decent employment, housing and ensure their participation in social and
political live. Working with youth on their access to rights will address the ground for
discontent and disengagement among young people – it is this human rights

narrative that needs to be more robustly propagated. True participation builds shared
responsibility for our society. True democratic participation entails debunk ill-
informed quick-fix solutions and populist discourses that flourish online because they
single out one group as the problem to be solved undermining the fundamental
values of pluralistic democracy. As mentioned before the Council of Europe believes
this means there is a need for adequate youth policy, good standards and education.
And indeed education for all, both local and national authorities and Youth need to
learn to work together. The Council of Europe’s recommendation on Youth
Participation in Local and Regional Authority and the Manual Have Your Say provide
clear guideline for all stakeholders in this process. Mr Ettema reiterated his belief in
youth wanting to act for human rights and Democratic Culture both off and online.
Ms Kasia Siemasz
Board Member
Polish Council of Youth Organisations
Ms Siemasz pointed to the great power of young people’s voices in today’s world,
quoting the examples of 160,000 young people protesting recently in Barcelona,
urging the Spanish government to take in more refugees, hundreds of thousands of
young Romanian citizens who took to the streets of Bucharest in the anti-corruption
protests, the largest since 1989 revolution, and a wave of demonstrations that
gripped Paris following accusations a police officer raping a young black man. All
these people decided to go out on the streets, articulate their dissatisfaction and stir
with the current events or the policies of their countries. And all this happened only
in the last 53 days, but last year was just as eventful, when protests have reached
countries represented at this very seminar. In some cases the protests were caused
by the concrete violations of the human rights, in other cases it is the broad
dissatisfaction with the policies and the decisions taken by the governments. In some
cases demonstrators made it clear that it is about the social inequalities and doubts
about the transparency and democracy. More and more people feel that the
decisions are taken behind closed doors, without the involvement of the society and
Polish Presidency of the Visegrad Group July 2016 – June 2017
13
also not necessarily in the interests of the society. That feeds and fuels the populist
and extremist movements, which often present themselves as the alternative to the
established and democratic parties.
The reasons for the protests are multiple. Many of those people are left with no
hopes for continuing their lives as they used to, are forced to flee, often risking their
lives when their fundamental rights are violated every day. Furthermore, many of
them face the reality of economic stagnation with unfair distribution of wealth. The
third crisis, a phenomenon particularly visible in the last months - the so-called post-
factual or post-truth politics and discourses, in which the facts have no value, truth is
falsified and given secondary meaning. Public political discourses become based on
an emotional approach and personal opinions, rather than statistics and facts. Or
people operate with “alternative facts” and the more often they repeat them, the
more often they will be picked up and quoted and embedded in the public discourse.
Youth organizations are where the democracy is being exercised. And that happens
without the parliamentary or presidential elections. Young people join youth
organizations voluntarily, they are active, they engage themselves for a various
societal causes and they also take part in elections by choosing their representatives
or representing the others. It is youth organizations, where young people become
conscious, engaged and responsible citizens, where they discuss about things they
care about, make decisions and take action. They are an important part of the civil
society and therefore vital to democracy. And they need to be supported.
Ms Siemasz called on all decision-makers to listen to young people, to hear their
vision and to react, when young people feel some borders are being crossed and
rights are being violated. Ms Siemasz further called on policy-makers to open
themselves for a dialogue with us and let it be an active dialogue. Ms Siemasz
further wished the seminar participants a fruitful event.

Working groups
Participants contributed to three working groups, discussing the following topics:
1) Human rights in the digital environment,
2) Participation of young people in the field of human rights, within civil society,
especially youth organisations and
3) Cross-sectorial cooperation for supporting young people actions in the field of
human rights.
Human rights in the digital environment
Facilitator – Nelli Gishyan (Armenia)
Group description:
The social media and the internet in general play a significant role in the life of young
people. Day by day digital environment becomes an integral part of their activities. In
recent years, human rights and violations of human rights online are becoming more
challenging, as things happening offline have their impact in online activities and
actions. Online acting in accordance with human rights is even more challenging
because in many cases we do not know whom we are dealing with and the digital
environment of human rights perspective becomes unclear and not always safe.
The objectives of the group were:
- To exchange the opinions and experiences (from local, national, international level)
on the needs and challenges of young people in the digital environment;
- To come up with common proposals and solutions to face them.
A summary of key issues discussed by the group is presented below (word cloud).

Human rights in the digital environment – word cloud
The group also discussed a number of issues pertinent to human rights in the digital
environment. The group felt that consistent law and policy approach to Hate Speech
was needed, accompanied by support from law enforcement agencies in enforcing
them – all within the HR framework. There was also a strong drive to raise
awareness through education, training those working with its victims (police) and
with youth using digital influencers and open online courses (including HRE
programmes). Other suggestions included: Increasing media literacy through non
formal education at grassroots level, strengthening regional cooperation to
strengthen protection of human rights of young people, using media literacy as an
instrument to enhance critical thinking to deal with ‘fake news’, addressing political
correctness that feeds populist movements and radicalisation among youth and
providing positive constructive solutions to hate speech – ‘make fun not hate’.
Participants of the working group drafted the following messages:
1. Addressing human rights challenges both online and offline requires support
for youth organisations’, youth councils’, public bodies’ and the educational
sector’s initiatives for Human Rights and Democratic Citizenship education,
including through international engagement and co-operation.
Polish Presidency of the Visegrad Group July 2016 – June 2017

2. Empowering young people to think critically and act to protect human rights
calls for strong European, national and regional co-operation, stakeholder and
tool mapping as well as synergy between stakeholders at all levels.
3. Building a common approach to protecting human rights online and creating
space for youth participation necessitates the involvement of young people in
internet governance processes including through human rights and media
literacy education.

Participation of young people in the field of human rights – word cloud
Sharing common understanding of youth participation and based on Right-Means-
Support-Opportunity-Space (RMSOS) approach of youth participation the group
worked out several challenges and problems of region they represent.
Those remarks were transformed into following messages:
1. Increasing the levels of trust among young people towards political processes
and actors requires their active participation in decision-making processes in
peaceful and tolerant societies.
2. Promoting youth participation is crucial in gaining better recognition of youth work
and voluntary work.
The group also discussed a number of other concerns in the field of participation of
young people in the field of human rights. They highlighted the need to recognise
importance of non-formal educational in the field of youth and to provide access to
young people to receive more understandable information on youth participation.
They also identified gaps in assisting young people to reach more practical skills in a
field of decision-making process and stressed the importance of meeting good
practises of different countries or communities. The group also felt that young people
need to be given concrete participation opportunities and build bridges between
Polish Presidency of the Visegrad Group July 2016 – June 2017
21
generations for better cooperation. Finally, the group discussed various ways to
increase the appreciation and recognition of the impact of youth work as an equal
and important field of youth development, learning and empowerment.
Participants of the working group drafted the following messages:
1. Increasing the levels of trust among young people towards political processes
and actors requires their active participation in decision-making processes in
peaceful and tolerant societies.
2. Promoting youth participation is crucial in gaining better recognition of youth
work and voluntary work.
Cross-sectoral cooperation for supporting young people actions in the field of
human rights
Facilitator – Gergely Kiss (Hungary)
The aim of the working group was to explore and define key elements of successful
cross-sectorial cooperation in the area of human rights in relation to the youth field.
Participants will share their experience of already existing human rights actions in
the V4 and EaP countries and discuss how they could successfully be adapted in
their own environments. As an outcome they will formulate proposals for fostering
cross-sectoral cooperation in order to support young people actions in the field of
human rights. The objectives of the group were:
- To share best practices and challenges of cross-sectorial cooperation in the field of
human rights faced by different stakeholders active in this area in V4 and EaP
countries and
- To formulate proposals for fostering cross-sectorial cooperation in order to support
young people actions in the field of human rights.

human rights – word cloud
Polish Presidency of the Visegrad Group July 2016 – June 2017
24
The group also discussed good practice and tried to identify specific measures that
help and improve cross-sectoral youth policy. Those measures included:
- Structured consultative processes (e.g. in Hungary: preparing renewed youth
strategy, Ministry of Human Capacities encompasses youth, sports, culture,
education, religion and health under one roof)
- Subcontracting and open call systems (e.g. in Czech Republic, ‘NGOs should
act where states fail’: core functions should be kept in house, state has to ensure
equal access of provided services to all young people, what is not guaranteed
when subcontracting to NGOs; Ukraine: open calls work well, delegating nation-
wide assignments to NGOs)
- Subsidiarity; in Ukraine, local issues dealt with at local level by local authorities;
respectively national should be addressed at national and international at
international levels
- Project cycle sustainability; in Slovakia, a 3-year funding guarantee is provided
for major youth organisations, every year recalculating grant based on given
formula (that means funding security and quality assurance at the same time -
plus points are given for higher standard in educational programs and compliance
to Youth Strategy)
- Mobilising partners – the NHSM strategy is a good example of that
- Addressing power issues: political cycle, PR, funding issues
- Regular experience-sharing: in Poland, the NHSM NCC is a coalition of 70+
NGOs; in Belarus, CoE democratic citizenship pilot projects; In Azerbaijan: IDP
community activities - 198 settlements built)
Participants of the working group drafted the following messages:
1. Supporting and empowering young people to be engaged in the field of
human rights should build on maintaining and further development of existing
cross-sectoral co-operation.
Polish Presidency of the Visegrad Group July 2016 – June 2017
25
2. Mainstreaming the access of young people to human rights should be
reflected in all relevant strategic and programme documents in all policy fields
and at all levels.
3. Fostering co-operation and partnership in youth policy requires thorough
identification and development of new trust-building mechanisms between
civil society and the public sector.

Panel discussion
Mr Andrij Pavlovych, Foundation for the Development of the Education
System, Eastern Europe and Caucasus SALTO RC
Mr Pavlovych introduced SALTO Eastern Europe and Caucasus Resource Centre
and other SALTO instruments, including SALTO website, European Training
Calendar, OTLAS and Trainers Online for Youth. Mr Pavlovych also outlined the
main components of the new EU4Youth Programme, including the recently launched
Eastern Partnership Youth Window.
Ms Katarzyna Zakroczymska, Solidarity Fund PL
Ms Zakroczymska introduced the Solidarity Fund and its activities in the field of
international co-operation, including examples of its support for democratic
transformations especially in countries where democratic voices are stifled. She also
outlined the Fund’s financial support structure (Poland’s MFA funding - forty million
EUR in the last five years). Ms Zakroczymska also shared details of the Fund’s
geographical coverage including local offices in Moldova and Ukraine as well as co-
operation with USAID and EuropeAid. Ms Zakroczymska also shared her thoughts
on youth participation, focusing on five key elements:
- Openness of the school system, in connection with local authorities
- Experience of the school as the first ‘fair’ and democratic environment in our
life, respecting social rules and human rights;
Polish Presidency of the Visegrad Group July 2016 – June 2017
27
- Learning by doing – how democracy can become a way of life for students
and teachers alike; experience of activity and changing the world
- Role of the media in civic education
- Importance of methods used (the role of informal education in closed
societies)
Ms Beata Jaczewska, International Visegrad Fund
Ms Jaczewska briefly presented the activities of the Fund and shared a number of
examples of its work, notably in the field of youth and co-operation with Eastern
Partnership countries – both areas of great importance in the Fund’s work. Ms
Jaczewska noted great enthusiasm and high activity levels of civil society actors in
the Eastern Partnership region.
Ms Marta Mędlińska, the partnership between the European Commission and
the Council of Europe in the field of Youth
Ms Medlinska presented the partnership and its work in the youth field. She further
shared a number of principles for successful youth participation and guidelines on
how it should be fostered, developed by the partnership:
1 - Understanding participation of young people: participation takes place in various
forms and arenas!
2 - Learning to be a democratic citizen is a key factor for participation
3 - It takes a whole society to rear a democrat!
4 - There are many good examples and approaches - make use of them!
5 - A few things yet to know - we need a better knowledge of the participation of
young people

Ms Medlinska invited the seminar participants to use the partnership’s products and
services including its Training Kits and youth policy reviews and encouraged them to
attend its youth policy events.
Mr Ville Majamaa, European Youth Forum
Mr Majamaa thanked the Polish Presidency of the Visegrad Group and the
Foundation for the Development of the Education System for inviting the European
Youth Forum to this event. The European Youth Forum is an umbrella organisation
bringing together 103 non-governmental youth organisations in Europe, Europe of
course understood as covering also eastern partnership and Council of Europe
members. EYF’s mission is to advocate for the rights and interests of young people
and youth organisations. Although human rights apply to everyone, certain groups of
people face particular barriers in accessing and enjoying their rights. The
international community has recognized this for specific groups including women,
children and persons with disabilities, for example. We must acknowledge that young
people moving between two stages of life – childhood and adulthood – can also be
particularly vulnerable to discrimination in various forms such as difficulties in
accessing education, quality employment, social protection or civil and political
rights. Seen from this perspective, addressing challenges like high youth
unemployment or poor representation of young people in national parliaments is not
a matter of choice but of necessity. The conversation changes from “it would be nice
if you paid me a decent salary” to “I have a right to quality employment”. Finally,
even though youth organizations are often not considered human rights
organizations, when working with these different topics the main focus is on young
people’s rights and consequently, on human rights. EYF do this in two ways. First,
through advocacy towards European and international institutions and second,
through building the capacities of our member organisations. Our advocacy work can
be both noisy and visible, such as the social media campaign over the last couple of
days for shaming the European External Action Service for using unpaid internships,
or it can be more long term and subtle, like when after years of lobbying the
Polish Presidency of the Visegrad Group July 2016 – June 2017
29
Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe finally adopted a Recommendation
on Young People’s Access to Rights in September last year. And of course, this
work does not stop at the European borders. We are currently pushing for the United
Nations to pay more attention to young people’s human rights situation through such
instruments as the Universal Periodic Review and the UN Human Rights Council.
EYF also provide capacity building for youth organisations and other stakeholders. If
any of you is interested in knowing more about the Rights-Based Approach, that is
how to implement the youth rights perspective, we are more than happy to come and
discuss it with you. Excitingly, as soon as next week we will launch an interactive
online tool called ‘Promoting youth rights – how to harness the power of human
rights instruments’ (http://www.youthforum.org/youth-rights-info-tool/). This tool will
not only provide the user an introduction to youth rights, focusing on the processes
and mechanisms available to highlight violations but also information on how to
engage with human rights processes on UN, CoE and on the national level. I hope
that many of you will find this tool useful and I encourage you to be in touch with me
with both positive and constructive feedback so that we can improve it further.
When browsing the news these days, it sometimes feels as if talking about human
rights has fallen out of fashion. And yet solutions to the challenges of our
increasingly interconnected and interdependent world cannot be found in the past
when the world was different. The fact that this event is dedicated for human rights
and does so in partnership between the state and civil society representatives
demonstrates this. It shows we are all on the same side, we all are working for youth
rights. This is hugely important, something we should cherish and take advantage of
- but never take for granted.

Mr Chorazy remarked that seminar participants have used their time very well both in
terms of learning for themselves and producing outputs – messages - that will be
picked up by EaP Youth Forum participants to be hosted in Warsaw in June 2017.
He encouraged participants to seize the opportunities presented by the various youth
support structures showcased during the panel discussion. Mr Chorazy also
expressed his hope that seminar participants will return to Poland for other events
and purposes and will venture outside its capital city. Mr Chorazy finally thanked all
involved in the seminar organisation for their efforts.

‘Young People for Human Rights’ Working seminar for representatives of the Visegrad Group
and the Eastern Partnership countries
Warsaw, 22-23 February 2017
Message from the participants
We, the participants of the working seminar titled „Young People for Human Rights”
held in the framework of the Polish Presidency of the Visegrad Group, have gathered
in Warsaw to strengthen and develop further the cooperation, dialogue, outreach and
impact of the work in the youth field between the Visegrad Group and the Eastern
Partnership countries.
Polish Presidency of the Visegrad Group July 2016 – June 2017
34
We represent the ministries for youth, national youth councils, national coordinators
of the Council of Europe No Hate Speech Movement Campaign, national agencies of
Erasmus+ programme and youth activists.
We welcome the holding of this seminar in Warsaw and underline the exemplary
cooperation existing between the Visegrad Group and the Eastern Partnership
countries in the youth sector which offered us a forum to discuss and exchange
experiences on the following issues: human rights in the digital environment;
participation of young people in the field of human rights, within civic society,
especially youth organisations; cross-sectorial cooperation for supporting young
people actions in the field of human rights.
Bearing in mind the need to enhance the communication and exchange between
organisations, institutions and governments across borders and inside countries on
best practices and build future regular partnerships, particularly between civil society
NGOs, youth organisations, community-based groups, opinion-formers and policy-
makers at all levels we identify the following key findings as results from our work:
1. Addressing human rights challenges both online and offline requires support
for youth organisations’, youth councils’, public bodies’ and the educational
sector’s initiatives for Human Rights and Democratic Citizenship education,
including through international engagement and co-operation.
2. Empowering young people to think critically and act to protect human rights
calls for strong European, national and regional co-operation, stakeholder and
tool mapping as well as synergy between stakeholders at all levels.
3. Building a common approach to protecting human rights online and creating
space for youth participation necessitates the involvement of young people in
internet governance processes including through human rights and media
literacy education.
4. Increasing the levels of trust among young people towards political processes
and actors requires their active participation in decision-making processes in
peaceful and tolerant societies.
Polish Presidency of the Visegrad Group July 2016 – June 2017

5. Promoting youth participation is crucial in gaining better recognition of youth
work and voluntary work.
6. Supporting and empowering young people to be engaged in the field of
human rights should build on maintaining and further development of existing
cross-sectoral co-operation.
7. Mainstreaming the access of young people to human rights should be
reflected in all relevant strategic and programme documents in all policy fields
and at all levels.
8. Fostering co-operation and partnership in youth policy requires thorough
identification and development of new trust-building mechanisms between
civil society and the public sector.
We hope that our contribution will be taken into account in discussions and meetings
of the 3rd EaP Youth Forum and in future planning of the European Commission
activities.
