MEETING WITH YOUNG PEOPLE ACROSS EUROPE

The Economic Forum of Young Leader is a meeting of young people from Europe, it gives room for discussion about important processes on our continent and in the world as well as about challenges for a young generation of politicians, economists and leaders of NGOs. The Forum gives room for a debate about the future of the European Union and its relation with neighbouring countries.

Each year, the Forum attracts young leaders of political, economic, social, and NG organisations from the EU countries, Eastern Europe and South- Eastern to come to Poland, to Nowy Sącz. The venue of the conference is determined by a partner programme – The Economic Forum in Krynica. Due to that outstanding politicians, economists, businessmen and heads of the countries, governments and corporations can participate not only in the “central - European Davos” but also have an opportunity to visit “young leaders” in Nowy Sącz and to share experience, knowledge and to answer the questions bothering young people.

The organisation of the Economic Forum of Young Leaders in Poland plays a big role in the promotion of our country as an important member of the European Union, the country that plays an important role in the integration processes, especially in the process of creating an Eastern dimension of the EU and the process of creating new ideas for the future of the Union.

In 2006 160 people from 25 European countries: from Albania, Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Byelorussia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Finland, Portugal, Georgia, Hungary, Germany, Latvia, Italy, Malta, Moldavia, Rumania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, the Ukraine and Poland participated in the Forum
