The conference “Youth in Europe – Better Europe” took place in Sofia, Bulgaria from 2 to 4 November 2017.

The conference gathered more than 60 participants from all over Europe to discuss on social inclusion of refugees and the role of young people in this process. 
The main goal of the conference was to bring together representatives of youth organisations working with refugees, national youth councils, European and international youth organisations, experts and national authorities and develop together a common concept of “good practices” tacking the challenges for the social inclusion of refugees, as well as the role of youth organisations in the dialogue with policy-makers and a follow-up action plan for 2018.

The Cyprus Youth Council was represented by the Secretary General mr. Nicolas Christofi and the former President of CYC mr. Loizos Vasiliou.

The conference was organised by the National Youth Forum – Bulgaria /NYF/ and the National Youth Card Association /EYCA Bulgaria/ in collaboration with the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung.
