We’re back to give you some great tips about the Alpine region. 👋🏻

There are plenty of opportunities for camps and exchanges for young people thanks to Erasmus +, and we wanted to share them with you. 📲💻

Do you have any good tips too? Share them in the comments.⬇️

Several members of the @_eusalp Youth Council are meeting this week in Slovenia, in Ljubljana and Kamnik. 🇸🇮🏔️

This meeting is special as it brings together young people from three youth participation bodies in the Alpine region: members of the @ypac.ibk as well as members of the @ciprayouthcouncil 🤝😉

We will conduct field visits, meet with members of action groups, and engage with young people from the Alpine region on topics related to the Slovenian presidency of EUSALP.

Another busy week ahead for our Youth Council members. 💪🏼🇪🇺

What kind of activities are the members of the @_eusalp Youth Council involved in?

For example, they engage in European projects like TranStat, under the Interreg Alpine Space program. ⛷️❄️

➡️These EU projects aim to consider how to adapt the Alpine region to current challenges. It makes sense to involve younger generations because they will benefit from the results of these projects in the coming decades. ✅🇪🇺🏔️

@_eusalp facilitates such projects on a macro-regional scale, and through the Youth Council, young people can get involved and share their perspectives. 🤝👍🏻

What exactly is EUSALP? 🇪🇺🏔️

We’ll try to give you a little overview of the different meetings that allow EUSALP to function throughout a presidency year. ✍️📃

Well, we know it’s not so simple to understand in 4 slides and with text that doesn’t present concrete examples of actions implemented by EUSALP…

That will be in upcoming posts where we’ll talk about EUSALP action groups. 🔜📱

And please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions! 📲🤙

A quick Alpine ecology lesson before the weekend?🌿🦅

Our Alpine region is rich in many unique and majestic animal species.

Within @_eusalp , the action groups 6 and 7 are working on biodiversity together with the secretariat of the Alpine Convention🏔️

In eusalp youth we really love marmots, but to each their own! 😉

Numerous species can be observed within the national parks throughout the Alps.

We’re curious to know what your favorite animal is!

Comment and share with us ☺️

« When there is a wheel, there is a way. »

This motto adapted to EUSALP shows that international cooperation primarily depends on the willingness of our states to work together. To progress together. 🤝🏔️🇪🇺

That’s why the symbol of this wheel is fitting for what @_eusalp represents.

This week, Slovenia will officially launch its presidency year! We are looking forward to collaborating with all our Slovenian colleagues and turning their priorities into our shared successes. 🇸🇮✅

How about a little advice?

In the Alps, we love skiing, and we also love our mountains. 🏔️🤍

We are becoming increasingly aware of the impact of winter tourism on CO2 emissions in our region. That’s why we wanted to advise you to take the train to go skiing. ⛷️

Have you already tried it? We are curious to know if there are any similar offers in your region. 🧐🔎

Let us share an example from Switzerland. 🇨🇭

For the French, there is @skiday.fr ,a former finalist of Pitch Your Project, offering solutions from Paris! 🇫🇷 Contact them; they will be happy to guide you to the slopes by train. 🚆🎿

EUSALP Youth Council at the @_eusalp Annual Forum

EUSALP Youth Council at the @_eusalp Annual Forum 2023 ⬇️
Last week, we attended the EUSALP annual forum, which marked the end of the Swiss presidency in 2023. 🇨🇭🗓️

A delegation from the EUSALP Youth Council actively participated in the program of this significant event. Youth participation took various forms, including:

- Representation in thematic roundtable discussions. 💬
- Speaking at the EUSALP 2023 General Assembly. 🎤
- Engaging in discussions with political representatives from Alpine regions present in Bad-Ragaz. 🍸🗣️

This kind of official event, which can be likened to a political summit for the Alpine region, provides young people with a better understanding of the intricacies of politics and international relations. 🌍🤝🇪🇺

As demonstrated by the event organizers, politics within the framework of a macro-regional strategy of the European Commission offers an opportunity to convey messages throughout the Alpine region. To achieve this, it is essential to use the right tools, strike the right tone, maintain balance in one's statements, and ensure precision to confirm that the message has been effectively transmitted. 📣✉️

Once these principles are put into practice, what message would you share with the other members of @_eusalp ? 🤔🏔️
