On Monday 20th November at 16:00 hours CET, the European Commission and Save the Children will organize a live debate over the internet on the future of the European Union and how Europe’s youngest citizens can be engaged in decision making on issues of concern to them. 

The main objective of the public chat session (web cast) is to provide a platform for children and young people to discuss key issues of importance to them that they think the European Union needs to focus on and what they think needs to be done about them.

The web cast is not only an opportunity to discuss but also to inform and influence.

Featured guests include European Commission Vice-President Margot Wallström and 5 young people from Finland, Lithuania, Romania, Spain and Wales. The web cast will provide an opportunity for Commissioner Wallström to directly hear about the issues important to children and young people, to debate these issues with them and to feed the results of the debate back into the consultation process on the White Paper on a European Communication Policy.

Veterans of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) salute during a reburial ceremony in Ukraine's western town of Zhovkva, 600km (373 miles) west of Kiev, November 25, 2006. Construction workers of the monastery have unearthed over 200 skeletons in 2002, some of small children and some had teeth missing and bullet wounds in their heads, which they believe are victims of a Soviet secret police massacre shortly after World War Two. The Soviet Union persecuted thousands of members of the Greek Catholic Church - Ukraine's largest Catholic church - for supporting Ukrainian nationalists battling Soviet rule.
