Strasbourg, 18 October 2016 LETTER of CANDIDATURE I, Liisa Ansala, consent to the nomination as candidate to the post of the Vice-President of the Chamber of Local Authorities in respect of the decision taken by the ILDG and in accordance with the agreement reached by the political groups.

For as long as I can remember, I have been interested in contributing to and participating in civic activities. I have gained

experiences in building active citizenship amongst young people, and I see that this is one of the areas the Congress should

continue to emphasize. This expertise has not only been built through my own experiences on participation. I have had the unique opportunity to research this topic in conjunction with my Doctoral dissertation, which will be completed during the

beginning of 2017. I want to see Europe remain open, and to work towards common goals in democracy, human rights and rule of law. I wish to apply my enthusiasm and ambition and to share my expertise and experience to the benefit of the

Congress and its Bureau.
