June 30, 2011
On June 29-30, the Atlantic Council hosted a Youth Forum during the Community of Democracies (CoD) ministerial in Vilnius, in collaboration with two Lithuanian NGOs and with the support of the National Endowment for Democracy. Opened by Lithuanian Foreign Minister Audronius Ažubalis, the forum convened leading young activists and diplomats from around the world to discuss best practices in support of democracy. This timely gathering focused on prospects for sustaining democracy in the Arab world, including how to support youth, which played a leading role in the changes witnessed throughout the region. Delegates also discussed efforts to assist and protect young human rights defenders to prevent further backsliding in Europe’s East and elsewhere around the globe. Diplomats and activists engaged in hands-on workshops to hone their skills in new-wave democracy tactics, including the use of new technology and social media.
Youth Forum delegates took part in U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s Strategic Dialogue with Civil Society, and three delegates from Egypt, Russia, and Belarus presented directly to Secretary Clinton about the most pressing issues affecting civil society in their countries. On July 1, delegates also took part in the official ministerial, which included presentations by Secretary Clinton, Minister Ažubalis, President of Lithuania Dalia Grybauskaitė, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President the European Commission Baroness Catherine Ashton, President of Mongolia Elbegdorj Tsakhia and Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt.
