Book excerpt: As one of the three main topics of the Interreg 30-year campaign, "youth" aims to show that even if young people are already part of European Territorial Cooperation (ETC), much more can and should still be done. How? By collecting young people's ideas and wishes on how to improve territorial cooperation in the future in order to make young generations feel heard by EU top decision makers. This youth-oriented and democratic exercise in 2020 is not only topical because of the Interreg 30-year celebrative campaign but also because it's a year of political changes between two EU budget periods, namely 2014-2020 and 2021-2027. Hence, 2020 is the best moment to express views in order to influence Interreg policy making and its projectbased implementation. This Manifesto presents young people's ideas on Interreg and especially on how to make it more in line with their expectations. It is mainly addressed to policy makers at EU, national, regional and local level as well as to Interreg Managing Authorities and project beneficiaries, organisations interested in EU cohesion - and especially Interreg - policy making, youth, citizens' engagement and democratic participation.
