THEME:

In late January 2015, following the terrorist attacks that hit Paris and many other capitals, the Committee on Democracy, Social Cohesion and Global Challenges discussed urgently the means to relay the huge solidarity movement sprung from civil society, facing threats on democracy and human rights, values that bring together all members of the Council of Europe

The working group proposes to the committee  NGOs, and their own partners, to answer this strong need for openness and inclusiveness,

OBJECTIVES:
  •     Contributing to building a more fraternal Europe
  •     Containing doubts propagated by media, by politicians and social scientists on dialogue and mutual aid capabilities
        in our democracies
  •    Allaying fears, increased by the external conflicts shockwave and violence among European
        and partner countries
  •     Offset  mistrust and aggression disseminated on social networks by benevolent speeches and positive examples
  •     Reaching out to young people, among which several millions in Europe have lost hope to integrate the active life of their countries, regardless of their ethnic, cultural or social background, so as to help them find a useful place, "their" place in our society.

PLANNED ACTIONS
  • Hearings and meetings to better identify transferable framework and effective ways to prevent violence, but also to restore young people's trust,  in collaboration with all members of the Conference, regardless of their scope
  • Involve external NGOs working in the field, such as Coexist or Nés&Cités (Born and cities)
  • Mobilize as much as possible  NGOs all members of the Conference, with proposals for field actions
  • Partnering on themes and relevant policy frameworks with the Council of Europe members of the quadrilogue  (eg intercultural cities, European Week of Local Democracy)

EXPECTED RESULTS
  •     identifying best practices and mistakes to avoid
  •     implementing  joint actions
  •     Creating a positive digital collaborative platform

Beyond the "living together", the ""doing together" basis of the action of Coexist, will be privileged
