Nine middle-aged Latvians, twenty-three European youngsters and one interpreter. This makes a perfect platform to talk.
Yesterday morning, the Sailors had an unique and unforgettable opportunity
to meet a group of nine local politicians from Balvi region. The summit turned
into a hot discussion, as the participants started to fire away the questions to the authorities.
During the summit, important issues like youth participation in the decision making process and personal motivation of becoming a politician were discussed. The biggest problem of young people in the region is, that they cannot find a proper paid job. That is why they are leaving to Riga or abroad.
Fruitful discussion and exchanging good practices were followed by promises made by the politicians. Let’s meet in one year in Balvi to see if the usual political talks turned into reality…
