Chosen amongst 15 other candidate cities, Torino took over from Rotterdam the title of European Youth Capital for 2010. This title was launched by the European Youth Forum (YFJ) to encourage the development of new ideas and innovative projects with regards to the active participation of young people in society and to foster the co-operation on youth policies at local and European level. Torino’s slogan for the European Youth Capital 2010 is ‘Pyou Life’. It stands for ‘Piemonte and You’ or ‘Piemonte and Youth’, but it can also be read as ‘Più’, the Italian word for ‘More’. During 2010 Torino will offer a hectic programme with events and activities giving more participation and more opportunities to young people for taking active roles in making real contributions to their communities.
