forums and summer schools for the youth from Middle East having as main
topic the achievement of the main values and principles of a democratic

government/leadership in your country should make to promote a CoP?
pay
more attention to national minorities and convince them to give up to
their intentions of segregation by offering them the right to
community privacy along with the keeping and affirmation of
ethnocultural identity , as well as the possibility of integration and
participation to public affairs.
b) What CoP youth activities/initiatives do you think the UN should do?
organize
forums, conferences aiming at familiarising young people with the rules
of international jurisprudence with regard to human rights, rights of
minorities, the legitimacy/ illegitimacy of war etc.
OTHER QUESTIONS
3. Do you have any suggestions or recommendations for improving youth
participation in CoP activities on any levels (UN, government, civil
society)?
give
them the chance of meeting in summer camps, forums etc. and providing
them with specific duties, responsabilities, encourage them to express
their ideas in writing by organizing essay contests with topics related
to youth policies.
4. What could be done to improve/ensure transparency and flow of
information in promoting the CoP?
The Internet remains the best way to ensure transparency and the flow of information in promoting the CoP.
5. To ensure the best possible return of a voluntary fund for youth and
CoP, how should it be managed/administered?
The
fund should be placed in a valid and sustainable youth project. This
fund would be managed in a decentralized way, which means that every
department of the organization leading the project would receive
an amount of money aiming at covering the expenses in the respective
field.
6. How can youth not yet involved in CoP activities be reached and
motivated?
Young
people respond very quiqly to provocations and they are more keen on
principles and values than adults. Young people get involved in
activities mainly corresponding to their values or being seen as a
necessity. They have to be convinced that their part in the respective
activity is important and that the activity itself would have
palpable results.
Peace is one of the most present values in young
people"s mind and it is also seen as a necessity. So, the main problem
would be how they can contribute to the maintenance and bulding of
peace? Giving them concrete responses to this question would make youth
get more involved in CoP.
7. a) Which other organizations do you know of, that work for a CoP?
PATRIR-
The Romanian Institute for Action, Instruction and Research in the
domain of Peace, European Network of Civilian Peace Services, The
Institute for International Mediation and Conflict Resolution, World
Conference on Religion and Peace.
