We are very happy of the great success of Youth at the Top!
Bravo to all our young participants (more than 500!) and to the ca.150 accompanying adults, who took part in the 41 events which finally took place. The bad weather was not an obstacle to their enthousiasm and they managed to reach the top!
53 events were initially scheduled, but the weather forced some of our partners to report the event and unfortunately few decided to cancel it.
We are all very satisfied and we thank each young participant and all Youth at the Top partners for their cooperation and energy.
To have a look at the Youth at the top 2016 events follow us on the Facebook page devoted to this project.
On our official web site, on each event's page, you will find the best pictures and videos.
Have a look also at our Youtube channel.
We can't wait now for the best-of video, coming soon in October!

Le réseau de commune Alliance dans les Alpes et CIPRA France organisent une Rencontre Nationale les 23 et 24 juin 2016 au Bourg d’Oisans.
La première journée (23 juin) de la rencontre aura pour sujet : « Transition énergétique : quelles perspectives de formation et d’emplois pour mieux vivre dans les Alpes ? » ouverte à l’ensemble des élus, socio-professionnels, associations… La deuxième journée (24 juin) sera réservée aux membres d’Alliance dans les Alpes.
Résumé de la première journée : L’emploi en zone de montagne est rythmé par des saisons marquées. Le travail saisonnier et la pluriactivité sont apparus comme une réponse adaptée, perçus le plus souvent comme un handicap, parfois comme un atout. La transition énergétique sera génératrice d’emplois dans les prochaines années. Comment les sociétés alpines peuvent se préparer et saisir cette opportunité pour mieux vivre dans les Alpes ?
