The Mairie de Monaco is offering an exciting opportunity for young individuals aged 18 to 30 to take part in the Council of Europe’s Rejuvenating Politics programme. The initiative invites local youth to represent the Principality as delegates at the upcoming Congress of Local and Regional Authorities sessions in Strasbourg, scheduled for March and October 2025.

The programme aims to amplify the voices of Monegasque youth and residents of the Principality, encouraging their participation in shaping local governance and international discussions while providing ambitious changemakers with valuable experience in the political realm and equipping them with tools to influence change both locally and globally. 

It will see promising delegates collaborate with Monaco’s Municipal Council representatives on various policies and topics, and engage in debates that have the potential to help bridge generational divides and address critical societal issues. 

Participants will also develop local projects under the Congress’s guidance, fostering dialogue between youth and elected officials while demonstrating innovation and commitment to their communities. 

Applicants interested in joining the Rejuvenating Politics programme must: be aged 18 to 30; hold a passport from one of the 46 Council of Europe member states; reside in one of these states; demonstrate openness, motivation and a willingness to strengthen dialogue with officials; and be fluent in English. 

Applications, which must include a 30-second video explaining the applicant’s aspirations, must be submitted online by 31st December at 11.59pm. Further details are available on the Mairie’s website. Click here for more information.
