2. Meeting

Bringing Ukraine closer to the EU – Shaping the future

Vlotho 30 July – 8 August 2024

The fight against human-made climate change and the effects of the war in Ukraine are the two biggest crises in Europe. We will give an input on the content and afterwards let´s work together on ideas for what we see as a good future. E.g. we take a trip to Hanover to visit places left over from World War II or rebuilt after the war, such as the New Town Hall with its unique elevator. We also have games on sustainable development and discuss joint action. We also address mental health in these times of crisis.

Central to the entire project is to bring the Ukrainian participants into contact with the other mostly EU citizens. We want to bring Ukraine closer to the EU.
