The European Association of Schools of Political Studies organised a two-day seminar (Strasbourg, 21-22 May 2013) on “Democratic citizenship and diversity” for the Network of Schools of Political Studies. The event formed part of the annual month “Celebrating Europe” sponsored by the City of Strasbourg.
Through a series of meetings and workshops, ten representatives of the Network shared experiences with young leaders from Western Europe and debated on European citizenship, diversity, migration, gender equality and the integration of young people in public life. With the support of the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie (OIF), the event fostered exchanges between the Network and newly established Schools in Africa. It also provided an opportunity to make the Association and the Network more visible to a wider public.
Syntheses of the main sessions:
How to integrate and to involve young people from multicultural backgrounds in public life in Europe? (in French only)
What does it mean to be a European, what does it mean to be a European citizen?
(in French only)
