Study and information programme
Details
The principle aim of this seminar, organized and financed by the State Center for Political Education Baden-Württemberg (LpB) and the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, is to provide our “Junior Team Ukraine for Europe” (a team of young Ukrainian EU integrators) with additional – “concrete” – information on the structures of the European Union “on the ground”. By organizing workshops on outstanding European issues, like European Security Policy or the establishment of a constitution for Europe, and study-trips to Strasbourg, the seat of the Council of Europe, the European Court of Human Rights and the European Parliament, as well as Stuttgart, the capital of the Federal State Baden-Württemberg, we want to give new ideas, impulses and motivations for the carrying out of simulation games in Ukraine. The EU teamers meet with European policy-makers and get a new vision of political processes on European level.
