Forum
Szczegóły
Taking place in Warsaw, this year’s Weimar Youth Forum will focus on the European security – in the broad sense of the term – both in the regional and global dimension. Important to the whole European community, this key issue will be the subject of discussion and consideration, allowing the participants to confront and understand different views on it.
The event is composed of conferences and seminars. It starts with an open lecture about European security, especially focusing on the challenges it presents to the European Union. During the second day the participants will take part in three panels, each opened by an expert’s lecture, followed by three different seminars.
