Rendez Vous – Festival International pour la Paix

The MRJC and the KLJB, French and German rural youth associations, are organising a gathering of young people on the occasion of commemoration of the Great War, in order to experience Europe together. From 2 to 5 August 2018, 3,000 participants will be at the “Rendez Vous” in Besançon. Young rural and urban, French, German and European, local and national politicians, experts, associations and members of civil society will have four days to discuss, debate and build a Civic Europe (conferences, themed workshops, talks from witnesses, festive events and sports tournaments). Five themed pathways will be offered: agriculture, democracy, economy, religion and ecology. This “Rendez Vous” is being built in partnership with around fifty local and national partner associations while numerous politicians and experts will take part in the various debates proposed. Recommendations and proposals for a civic and harmonious Europe will be developed by rural youth following this “Rendez Vous” and will be presented and promoted to the candidates in the 2019 European elections.
