Under the slogan &#8220;ChisiNOW: <em>Youth for Peace, Securing our Future&#8221;, the Moldovan capital is preparing intensively for the final stage of the selection.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The coordination of the application process is carried out by the <strong>National Youth Council of Moldova (CNTM)<\/strong>, in partnership with the <strong>Chisinau Municipal Youth Center and the Chisinau City Hall<\/strong>. They are currently working on the development of the extended application, a strategic document that will reflect the needs, aspirations and potential of young people in the capital.<\/p>\n<p>One of the key components of this approach is direct and continuous consultation with young people. Recently, at the<strong> Chisinau Municipal Youth Forum<\/strong>, more than a hundred young people were invited to contribute with ideas and suggestions on Chisinau&#8217;s future as European Youth Capital. The discussions were facilitated by <strong>Igor Ciurea<\/strong>, an expert affiliated to the bid team, and <strong>Roman Banari<\/strong>, Secretary General of CNTM.<\/p>\n<p>Topics discussed included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How can the <em>European Capital of Youth<\/em> program become more participatory and inclusive;<\/li>\n<li>What themes are key for young people in 2028 and who bears the responsibility for their realization &#8211; young people or authorities;<\/li>\n<li>What types of actions and partnerships are needed to support Chisinau&#8217;s bid.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\t\t<style
