During the Thessaloniki event, I had the chance to work on my skills and enhance my knowledge of EU topics and how to make things work better inside of our Union. As well as understanding how we, as Europeans can have an impact on our own lives, in different EU countries, by exporting our values and rights.

The event made me realize how many cultures there are in the EU and how wonderful it is to meet and share experiences. I had a wonderful time at the event and everyone has been so nice and it was very well organized. The staff was as always amazing!!
