The Council of Europe has organised the "Young Active Citizens" Award in order to promote participation by young people in society, especially at local and regional level. In 2005, the European Year of Citizenship through Education, the Award seeks in particular to generate a more profound sense of citizenship among young people, to create a feeling of belonging to a democratic society and to stimulate a commitment to that society.
