BALTIC SEA YOUTH DIALOGUE 2018

A seminar for students of political sciences interested in Baltic Sea cooperation.

Are you currently studying political sciences or have recently graduated? Are you interested in regional cooperation in the Baltic Sea Region? Are you ready to learn and discuss interesting topics, meet new people having similar interests from the region?

Is this you?

Student or recent graduate of political science. Between 18-28 years old. Coming from Denmark, Finland, Germany, Estonia, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Russian Federation, Sweden, Belarus, France, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Ukraine, United Kingdom or the United States of America. Fluent in English.

The Baltic Sea Region is like a mosaic of the diverse regions and the Baltic Sea connects people across national borders. But how do people live along national borders? How do they define their identity and culture? How do they deal with ethnic minorities and immigrants? Is identity something fixed, predetermined or in constant change? And is the situation at a national border a burden or an opportunity?

We want to explore these questions using the example of the German-Danish border region - a region that formed one united region over many centuries and is now divided between Germany and Denmark.

Baltic Sea regional cooperation is of utmost importance for tackling challenges today and finding solutions for tomorrow. The Baltic Sea Youth Dialogue 2018 aims to make regional cooperation relevant for the future generations. Therefore, we offer a five-day session of seminars and workshops at Academia Baltica in Oeversee, Germany, to students from the Baltic Sea Region and beyond.

Apply at bit.ly/BSYD2018 by 31 October 2018.

We will contact the selected participants shortly after. Accommodation and catering will be provided by the organisers and the reimbursement of travel expenses is guaranteed up to 250 EUR for each participant.

A detailed programme for the Baltic Sea Youth Dialogue 2018 will be available shortly.
