In cooperation with Europe Direct Dienvidlatgale, NGO Club "The House", the Latvian youth council (LJP), the latvian civic alliance (LPA), the youth organisation of VIENOTĪBA, as well as the representation of the European commission and other organisations, the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung was able to realize multiple events about Europe in Daugavpils und Līvāni on the 8th and 9th of may.
After a debate between the candidates for the European parliament Anna Rancāne, Pāvels Kuzmins und Ērika Teirumnieka about “Believing in the Power of your voice”, moderated by Renārs Kairis and organized by Club "The House", young people had the opportunity to ask the politicians their questions.
The activities in the European Courtyard Festival offered various possibilities for political participation to young people, helping them in acquiring a better understanding on the European Union.
The festival was concluded with a concert by Jöran Steinhauer, who also performed a song with our colleague Jakob Wöllenstein, Head of Office for Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung Belarus.
We are thankful to everyone who participated in this project!
