From July 18 to 20, the youth of Gabrovo will work on the creation of a youth parliament in our city. We invite you to be part of this event and join the working groups that will determine how it will work, what will be its structure and powers.
What is a youth parliament?
The Youth Parliament is a self-governing organization of young people over the age of 14 that is not politically affiliated. It aims to provoke, express opinion, direct and influence policies for young people, communicate with institutions and young people, initiate events and campaigns. In two words - to ensure that the voice and wishes of the young people in Gabrovo are heard and taken into account.
Why is it important to have a youth parliament?
Because it is important to feel good in your city and to be able to fully participate in its life and the decisions that are made for young people.
and
Because our city wants to be adequate to the new times - to give the best of itself to the young people who live in it here and now.
Who can participate?
Anyone aged 14-29 who is not tied to a political party or religious movement, who is active, full of ideas and thinks he has something to say, show and give to Gabrovo.
What are we going to do?
We will look at the structure and workings of several successful youth parliaments, and then we will build the structure of our own - we will think about how we will elect its members, how long their mandate will be, what their powers will be, where and how often they will are sitting. Finally, we will come out with a ready statute, and our ambition is for the first youth parliament in Gabrovo to be elected in September. Of course we will have fun and meet many new people.
