1. WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The seminar will gather forty young people from 10 European countries
(Bulgaria, Croatia, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania, Slovenia,
Spain and Greece) with the opportunity to:

Experience personal and cultural diversity in Europe

Share their values, interests on social and political topics
Discuss in an international environment
Exchange ideas on current issues with regard to the European Union
and European Affairs

Our focus this year will be: "All for one and one for all? How (should)
todays challenges define our Future? The idea is to discover
together our different perspectives on political and social issues such as
European refugee policy or European integration and the way in which
they can be expressed at a personal, local, regional, national and
European level.
As part of this discovery we will visit the European Parliament in
Strasbourg and also have a meeting with members of the European
Parliament with the opportunity to discuss current issues.
Promoting a learning process that is based on self-reflection and selfexpression gives us the space to express our ideas and emotions through
workshops concerning journalism, theatre, music or different forms of art.
