In addition to the participation of youth representatives at the Conference itself, the European Youth Network meeting will be held a few days earlier and will contribute to the success of the 10th European Regional Conference. During the Conference The Conference will use interactive workshops and plenary sessions to organize discussions on the three subthemes. The workshops will be led by National Societies and facilitated by inspirational internal and external facilitators. Rapporteurs will capture the conclusions from each session and they will be presented to the Conference in plenaries. Short background papers with guiding questions, methodology and identified facilitators, will be developed with National Societies and made available online prior to the Conference. Post-Conference follow up A Conference evaluation will be carried out which will take into account participants’ feedback, support the improvement of statutory meetings and conferences and uphold accountability. The detailed methodology of the evaluation will be defined in the coming weeks through close coordination between the IFRC Secretariat in Geneva, Regional Office for Europe, Country Cluster for Central Asia and the Kazakhstan Red Crescent. At the end of the Conference, National Societies will be offered the opportunity to form an Implementation Support Group (ISG) which will work towards the fulfilment of the commitments made in Almaty over the next four years. The ISG will be supported by the Regional Office for Europe.
