Ilaria Esposito and Alexandru (Sandu) Coica representing the Europe Region WAGGGS and WOSM were elected to the Advisory Council of the Council of Europe at the Council of Members of the European Youth Forum in Braga, Portugal last weekend 19-20November 2011.

The Advisory Council enables youth organizations to contribute to the development of the Council of Europe’s youth policy through its system of co-management.  The election of Ilaria and Sandu to the Advisory Council reinforces the commitment of Guiding and Scouting to the development of a strong and mainstreamed youth sector which can support young people to tackle the challenges they are facing during these uncertain times.

The Advisory Council on Youth consists of 30 representatives from youth NGOs who provide input and opinions on the activities of the Council of Europe youth sector. Together with government representatives from each of the Council of Europe member states responsible for youth issues, they develop the priorities for the youth sector and make recommendations on future priorities and programmes.

Both Regions have nominated candidates to represent WAGGGS and WOSM in these elections as follows:

  • Alexandru (‘Sandu’) Coica (Asociatia Nationala A Scoutilor Din Moldovo, Moldova) to represent WOSM
  • Ilaria Esposito (Corpo Nazionale Giovani Esploratori ed Esploratrici Italiani, Italy) to represent WAGGGS

Both candidates being presented are experienced in representing Guiding and Scouting externally and have been participating in Council of Europe activities. They are committed to promoting the role of Guiding and Scouting in the development of better youth policies at European level and their election to the Advisory Council will support the external relations and advocacy work of WAGGGS and WOSM in the regions.
