D-Effect promoted during the meeting of the Board and General Assembly of the EGTC Euroregion Baltic

he D-Effect project was promoted during the meeting of the Executive Board and General Assembly of the Euroregion Baltic EGTC, as well as during the session of the Euroregion Baltic Youth Board. A cooperation agreement was signed as part of the D-Effect project!

During the meeting in Kalmar on March 17 and 18, the D-Effect project was prominent at both the youth and institutional levels. Artur Frajny, a youth representative from STG ERB, represented the D-Effect project during the meetings of the ERB Youth Board, where issues related to democracy, participation, and the role of young people in shaping the future were discussed.

On the second day of the ERB EGTC meeting, the D-Effect project was presented to the attendees by Paweł Kulasiewicz, representing STG ERB. The project’s presence at this level enabled the inclusion of youth participation in the broader debate on development and cooperation in the Baltic Euroregion.

An important element of the meeting was the signing of a cooperation agreement within the D-Effect project between the EATB Youth Board (Euroregion Baltic Youth Board) and STG ERB.

What does this mean in practice?

It is another step toward the meaningful inclusion of young people in democratic processes, from the local to the international level.

As part of the D-Effect project:

young people will be active participants in consultations and events

Youth Democracy Festivals (YDF) and international cooperation will be developed

the voice of young people in public policy will be strengthened

The agreement also outlines how the parties will cooperate, how the youth will be organized, and how to use educational materials. The agreement is an important step toward building a strong, informed, and engaged youth in the Baltic Sea region.
