100 FOR THE NEXT 100 IN THE DANUBE REGION
4-8 June 2014, Sarajevo
Application deadline 20 April 2014
Today, Europe is facing serious challenges in various
spheres, from the economy and unemployment to growing nationalism and
enlargement fatigue in many European countries, to name but a few. As the next
generation, European youth should be involved when these questions are brought
up. The European Youth Summit “100 for the Next 100 in the Danube Region” will
bring together 100 young leaders with various educational and professional
backgrounds from the Danube Region and South East Europe. Instead of looking at
the past and what happened 100 years ago, they will discuss the different
facets of the challenges Europe is facing today and will face in the future.
What has to change in order to make Europe future proof over the next century?
TOGETHER. FUTURE. EUROPE
Why “100 for the Next 100” is unique
We believe that young people are a driving force towards change. “Together for the future of Europe” is our main motto. This is why we will mark the year 2014, the year of anniversaries, with a project that will gather young people in Sarajevo to show that we are looking towards the future, rather than living in the past. This project is our statement for the future we wish to have – together.

GOALS. RESULTS. IMPACT
What we want to achieve
Our goal is to establish a network of young (future) leaders and policy makers who will find creative solutions to the challenges affecting Europe today. The participants of the summit will improve their skills in a variety of fields (public relations, leadership and media-related skills, lobbying and networking) and find a space to put those skills in practice. Invited experts, local and European politicians, scientists and artists, will deliver speeches and act as trainers and interlocutors to the younger generation in a series of working sessions on European questions. After the summit, a group of outstanding intellectuals will be equipped to broaden the debates on challenges they are facing today and to foster their own potentials for building a better society.
