Europe Jam on the EU and the Western Balkan
Europe | When asked by one of our participants after the Europe Jam on Gender whether we would be interested in organising a Jam on the EU and the Western Balkans exploring especially the role of youth in the integration process, we of course said yes and made this Europe Jam on 19 January 2021 a Europe 2.0 – Special Edition.
Our intern Anna-Lea Reinhart takes us back to the discussion by highlighting some of the challenges in her chosen quotes.
Special thanks also to Ana Abdi for suggesting and co-organising this session!
