Thematic link to the Forum: Youth.

Description: Many cities in the BSR face decreasing attractiveness, brain-drain of young people and dwindling social, political and civil society engagement. Local authorities may lack the resources to counteract this downward spiral. We bring together local perspectives, practical examples, the BSR policy perspective and an ongoing initiative to build capacity in local authorities making better use of local assets, culture and young people for revitalization and regeneration of their communities, leading to increased social resilience and attractiveness, also for sustainable touristic activities in the BSR.
