🌿 The EUCULTURE Joint Master students recently took part in a cultural visit to Sermoneta Castle and the Garden of Ninfa near Rome.

🏰 From the medieval atmosphere of Sermoneta Castle, where the group also spent the night, to the Garden of Ninfa, a notable historic garden where nature, history and landscape come together, the two days combined cultural discovery, learning and exchanges beyond the classroom.

🙏 Special thanks go to the President and the Secretary General of the Fondazione Roffredo Caetani, as well as to the Director of the Garden of Ninfa, for welcoming the group and contributing to this enriching experience.

💜 The Joint Master in European Cultural Governance is organised in cooperation with the Luiss School of Government Luiss School of Government.

🇫🇷🇩🇪🇺🇦🇲🇩 The first-ever EU*Connect Alumni Summer Academy has come to a close! 14 participants from France, Germany, Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia, alumni of the past four editions of our EU*Connect online campus, came together at the EuropäischeAkademieOtzenhausen for an intensive week of workshops, discussions, visits and a simulation on European decision-making.

🇪🇺 The programme also took the group to Strasbourg, where they visited the Council of Europe and had the opportunity to exchange at the European Youth Centre with Pascale Trimbach-Rognon, Secretary General of the Franco-German Youth Office OFAJ DFJW, MEP Oliver Schenk Oliver Schenk, Tobias Flessenkemper and Marius Schlageter, respectively Head of the Council of Europe’s Youth Department and Policy Advisor. Back in Saarland, a fishbowl discussion with Dr Deniz Alkan from the State Chancellery of Saarland Staatskanzlei des Saarlandes offered another opportunity to reflect on the role of young people and civil society in shaping the future of Europe.

🔆 What made this week particularly special was seeing a community that had so far mostly met online come together in person. After many hours of joint learning and exchange across borders, the participants strengthened their connections, exchanged perspectives and created new ones. As our lecturer Paul Culley put it, they are now ready to “write a script for their common European future.”

💠 A big thank you to our partner Europäische Akademie Otzenhausen for co-organising the programme and hosting us, and to the Franco-German Youth Office and the State Chancellery of Saarland for their generous support.

💮 And a very special thank you to all our lecturers and guests who contributed their expertise and engaged so openly with the participants!

✴️ It was a real pleasure to see the EU*Connect community grow beyond the digital classroom - and to witness the energy, curiosity and commitment of a new generation of Europeans.
