How Ungheni treats young people as partners at the table of decisions: councils, forums and a fund of their own

Ungheni does a lot for young people — and that is good. But a focus group hosted on 16 August by the District Youth Centre brought to light something rarer: the district calls its young people to the table of decisions too, not just to events. Behind it lies an infrastructure built up over time — a Youth Council with 35 members, drawn from at least half of the district's localities, forums, a co-participation conference with the mayors — and a centre that does not wait for young people but goes after them, all the way to the village. What is more, between 2016 and 2017, young people had a fund of their own, run by themselves — in a district where the number of young people has almost halved in a decade.

Five goals before half-time: FCM Ungheni beat CF Univer 6-2 for their first win of the season

FCM Ungheni claimed their first win of the season on Saturday, at the town stadium, beating CF Univer 6-2 in the third round of Liga 1. The town's side led 5-1 by the break — Dmitri Maneacov scored twice, with Florin Cojocaru, Stanislav Sarain and Andrei Stratan completing the first half — before Bogdan Placinta set the final score in stoppage time. The three points lift them from 5th to 3rd in the group, two points off the top two. Next up is an away game at Zimbru-2 on Friday, 21 August.
