At the AER Spring Committee meetings in London, the region of Harghita (RO) was recognised in the #ShineBright session in recognition of its leading role in Committee 3 on the youth. Harghita organised a workshop together with AER on the occasion of the European Week of Cities and Regions entitled “EU Regions Partners for Youth” which looked at the issues of young people not in education, employment or training, brain drain and youth empowerment. Following this workshop the region is now developing a project to allow for better dialogue between young people and decision-makers and increased youth participation.
