EYFON YouthDays Hungary-Styria HUST
The Castle Europe Forchtenstein was host to the EYFON YouthDays Hungary-Styria between the 19th and the 23rd May. The participants were 16-17-year-old students from the Austrian School in Budapest (OSBP) and two Styrian schools, the BG/BRG Leibnitz and the BORG Deutschlandsberg.
Among the entertaining and educational activities were the geocaching in the Gragger Gorge that involved students answering questions about Europe in smaller groups, as well as the workshop “Ideas for Europe”, organised by the Young European Federalists (JEF).
The young people had the chance to learn more about the work of the European Council during a fireplace conversation with Nora Botar, Klaus Schwab and Claudia Weyringer.
An excursion to Graz was also organized for the Hungarian students, who visited the University of Applied Sciences FH Joanneum.
The students especially enjoyed the nature surrounding the castle and the possibility to meet other young people. They expressed their wish to see more such international events that bring European youth together take place.
The highlights of the week will be shortly presented in the form of a trailer.
This project was financed with funds of the Federal State of Styria and with the friendly support of the Wiener Städtische Versicherungsverein.
