The European Union, Youth and Future – Town Twinning 2025

ongoing

Through our informal and interesting activities, we are connected to the following general goals: - promoting the exchange of views between citizens of different countries, - strengthening the role of local and regional authorities in the European integration process, - guaranteeing peaceful relations between Europeans and ensuring their active participation at the local level, - exchange of best practices. Together, we will try to find the roots of Euroscepticism, using a short questionnaire to monitor the extent to which it is present in the individual member countries. We give space for anyone to express their opinion about the EU too. Equal opportunity is one of the core values of the EU, yet its practical application is not the same for each member country or social stratum. We look from the smallest levels to the highest EU levels, and here too we are interested in the participation, experience and opinions of all interested parties. We consider it very important to experience together the richness and diversity of the common heritage of the EU. During a joint trip, we will visit the nearby city of Zlín from a cultural and historical point of view. We also involve disadvantaged citizens, who generally have incomplete knowledge of EU processes. In this way, we also provide them with relevant information. Thus, the varied program offers both meaningful and entertaining elements for the participating citizens. Some of the planned programs do not require language skills, so the participants come into contact with each other through active, joint participation. This also contributes to eliminating distances and rejecting behavior. This strengthens the participants' commitment to the Union and its values - this is one of our most important long-term effects. Everyone is welcome at the event, without any discrimination. In addition to the Czech Republic Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Poland, Germany and Austria are participating in the project.
