The Center for EU Enlargement Studies (CENS) has been taking part in the project entitled “Proud to be a European – The Importance of Active Citizenship” led by the Linum Foundation and supported by the Central European Initiative (CEI). The final international conference will take place from 11 to 13 September 2015. The main issues that will be discussed are:

• Sharing NGO’s experiences and introducing best practices
• Young citizens’ approach to the EU: What do they know about it? How do they understand it?
• How the participation and activism of citizens could be enhanced with use of new technologies?
• Minorities and isolated countries (Romanians, Romanian Hungarians, Ukrainians, Bosnians, etc.)
• Increasing public attention to the CEI & Visegrad cooperation
• Motivating citizens to act and to cooperate for better understanding
• Spreading both the Visegrad and the Central European idea
• How to contribute to positive developments in our countries?
