In the first part of the event, the “EU in my life” workshop will be held, which aims to familiarise the participants with the European Union’s institutions and governing bodies and to inform them about the policy makers, the decision-making processes and the democratic values of the Union.

The event is organised in the framework of the youth exchange scheme of the Erasmus+ Key Action 1 EU programme, engaging 55 young people aged 18-30 from 12 European countries.

The event will be attended, among others, by volunteers participating in the European Solidarity Corps programme. The session is open to students, volunteers, youth workers and trainers, unemployed people and generally to people 18-35 who wish to enrich their knowledge and connect with other European citizens.
Following the workshop, free lunch will be provided.
