Description

Provide a short description of the event and its activities.

During the implementation of the tender, we focused on the issue of European integration on the part of the member states. During the 6-day meeting, we dealt with current European topics several times, especially the neighboring Ukrainian-Russian war and its effects on the people living here. Among the invited guests, guests from Hungary, Poland, and Romania, as well as representatives of neighboring countries, reported on their own experiences. In addition, migrant policy is also a current issue. As a border settlement, we experience the arrival of immigrants to Slovakia on a weekly basis, and we discussed this topic with representatives of countries with similar experiences. At the end of the meeting, we came to the conclusion that we will apply these shared topics and experiences in our own region when we return home.
