Follow our adventure in Rio on the blog this week!
Today we had a very interesting meeting between
the three European facilitators Cristina, Aynur and Ivan – who are here to
bring the European Youth voice, and Fernando and Mariana, who were facilitators
during the 2010 Conference in Brasilia (first international Let’s Take Care of
the Planet conference). Both Fernando and Mariana are very involved in youth
movements, in particular in the REJUMA (important Youth network for Environment in
Brazil) and REBEA (Network on Environmental Education). Their involvement and work is
impressive.
We worked together on how we can articulate
here in Rio the youth activities, and find the convergence points. The common
objective is to focus on the notion of responsibility
and commitment to both give a
collective youth message and follow actively what will happen after Rio + 20.
The 2010 Youth Charter, but also the Open Letter to the Decision-makers will be
referent documents for that purpose.
Making convergences between all the young people here will be all the more
possible as Fernando is coordinating the ‘Youth Territory’ in the People’s
Summit, and of course, we will help him!
Also we are preparing a workshop for next
Saturday, based on the European Open
Letter to Decision-makers, but this is another story… And we’ll come back
with another article!
Lydia Nicollet, co-coordinator of the European process
