The purpose of the project

The aim of the project is to strengthen the existing contacts and cooperation with partners in the face of new challenges and to establish new partnerships of young people from Poland and the Czech Republic. Demonstrating that the current pandemic situation is not an obstacle to be able to carry out a project with foreign participants. Using technology, the project participants will prove that they can freely exchange their views, and that nowadays it is possible to conduct a debate online. The participants of the project will raise issues related to the forms of international cooperation in the times of COVID-19, the upcoming Polish presidency in the Visegrad Group and concerns related to the situation on the labor market. Another goal of the project is to strengthen the image of Poland as an active activist in the European Union, NATO and the Visegrad Group by means of economic, social, political and historical achievements of Poland.

The reason for the project

As part of the project, workshops will be conducted on the subject of false information appearing in social media and fake news by people dealing with these issues. By participating in panels and workshops, project participants will learn about the positives of belonging to the Visegrad Group and NATO. Workshops and meetings with representatives of Polish politics, media, non-governmental organizations, science and business will prove that Poland deserves the title of a leader and an active member of many organizations, because it diligently fulfils its allied obligations. Project participants will have the opportunity to learn more about Polish science, history and culture. Online meetings are suitable for people who do not have time for frequent departures due to obligations or fear of traveling in the current situation.
