Yound politicians from the Nordic countriesYoung politicians from the Baltic States, Belarus and the Nordic countries meet in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius on 3 and 4 June to discuss how to increase the impact of young people in facing the social challenges and enforce their opinions via Internet and social media.

"Belarus and the Baltic States are our near neighbours, but our societies are still very different, and young people [in these countries] do not have the same opportunities," Minna Lindberg, President of the Nordic Youth Council, says. "It is important for us as young politicians to meet, learn from each other, share our experiences and build networks for the future."In addition to improved freedom of movement, young politicians also discuss visa regulations.

Experienced politicians from Belarus, the Baltic States and the Nordic countries have been meeting on a regular basis for several years. A major objective of the meetings of both young and experienced politicians is to support Belarus becoming a more democratic country.
