Think beyond borders – YEN Digital Summer has started!
In the next two months, we invite you to our activities under the motto “Think beyond borders”. Even when at home and not able to travel, we want to keep our network active and connected and reflect on the current situation as well as the challenges national, ethnic and linguistic minorities face.
Here we present you the overview of the activities. You can participate in all of them, but you can also just choose one. It is up to you, depending on your time and interests.
Webinars: these 1h sessions will provide you with the input on a particular subject. You will have a chance to listen to some experts and ask them questions. It is a short format, planned for one evening and will happen every two weeks.
Our first Webinar was dedicated to the topic nationalism and populism and their impact on minorities, (not only) in a crisis situation such as the current one. Our special guest was Prof. Dr. Vello Pettai, the new director of the European Centre for Minority Issues (ECMI) in Flensburg, Germany.

Our second Webinar was dedicated to the situation of young people from Roma minority. We were delighted to have Maria Atanasova as a guest. Maria was recognised as Young European of the Year 2020 for her outstanding commitment to supporting Roma youth and creating equal opportunities.
