YATA Public Diplomacy Discussion Paper (57KB)
The Youth Atlantic Treaty Association (YATA) Secretariat, NATO's Public Diplomacy Division (PDD) in partnership with the Atlantic Council of Slovenia (ACS) has organized a conference designed to engage youth members in an open discussion on their views of the Alliance, its future, and how they see their role within the organization.

Topics of discussion will include the nature of the Alliance after enlargement, NATO-EU relations, NATO’s civil dimension, and NATO and Youth – ways and means of working together. The conference will be held in Brussels on September 15-16 at NATO Headquarters and will include youth delegates from 25 NATO Member and Partner countries.

By bringing together and increasing contact with youth branches in other Atlantic Committees, YATA develops a dialogue that is strengthened and supported by NATO members and partners. YATA, as a youth organization, is dedicated to creating an institutional framework for coordinating and supporting national youth initiatives that educate and engage the youth on the importance of NATO.

The conference builds upon the success of the 2002 Prague Atlantic Student Summit (PASS) and NATO’s Public Diplomacy Strategy aimed at providing future generations of leaders and decision-makers with an informed and comprehensive understanding of NATO’s role in underpinning global security.
