Noored Ühiskonna Heaks (NYH) is promoting a call for participants for a Youth Exchange named Active participation is a step for democracy which will take place from 20th until 27th February 2017
in Strasbourg, France.
Democracy essentially has two principles; autonomy
of the individuals and principle of equality. Within these principles no
individual can be subject to the rules imposed upon him and every individual
has the right to speak on the decisions that will affect himself/herself .These
principles also include the moral justification of democracy, It is often
claimed that democratic system offers a more efficient form of government and
their justification is the easier adoption of the decisions by people in the
democracies and the tendency for not breaking the rules that they made. Because
the decisions are taken with the consensus of different segments of the society,
people are more likely to approve these decisions and those rules would not be
realistic if they are not accepted by a large fraction of the population. In a
democratic society, government should include NGOs and individuals in the
decision-making processes.
Even though it arises as a problem, other studies
shows that participation started to increase in different aspects. Growing
number of civil society organizations and increasing visibility of the civil
initiatives and youth organizations in the society shows that participation is
on a rise, but in a different way. However, it is inevitable to face bigger
problems in the future because of the descending participation rate.
This event
will bring together 37 participants from Turkey, Estonia, Hungary, Croatia,
Spain and France. There are 5 vacancies
available. Participant should be minimum 18
until 30 years old.
