A Bahá'í principle, from ‘Abdu’l‑Bahá:

Be thou a summoner to love, and be thou kind to all the human race. Love thou the children of men and share in their sorrows. Be thou of those who foster peace. Offer thy friendship, be worthy of trust. Be thou a balm to every sore, be thou a medicine for every ill. Bind thou the souls together.

How do ideas about meaningful youth participation shape young people's capacity to engage and have agency in society? How can EU policymakers better engage and draw from the experiences of millions of young people across Europe?

Earlier today, these were some of the questions participants addressed at a roundtable discussion hosted by the BIC Brussels Office, titled "Reimagining Youth Participation at the Local Level: Reflections for the EU Youth Strategy".

The conversation brought together city representatives from European Youth Capitals, national youth council representatives, European youth organisations, and other civil society organisations.

Part of the discussion also explored the characteristics a system would need, and the kinds of structures required, to engage young people not only through youth representatives but in a way that enables the participation of every young person at the local level.

Peyvand Naimi endured 10 days of torture, no food/water, and beatings. Bound for 48 hours and tied to a wall, he faced mock executions and interrogation to extract a false confession. This abuse continues as he remains in detention. #PeyvandNaimi #SavePeyvandFromExecution
