The Assembly
Considering that the aim of the Council of Europe of achieving greater unity between its Members would be facilitated by more frequent contacts between young people from member countries;
Considering that sporting events would furnish one of the most appropriate means of developing such contacts,
Recommends to the Committee of Ministers:
that it should invite Member Governments to help the appropriate bodies in member countries to organise every year a European junior athletics festival in which young people of all member countries would be invited to participate ;
that the first of such festivals should be held in Strasbourg as being the seat of the Council of Europe;
that thereafter each Member Government in turn should declare its willingness to help in organising a similar festival in its own country;
that the Council of Europe should award prizes to be presented at such festivals.
