Marc and I attended the international seminar "Discrimination of Youth" as delegates of Austria for the JVP. We were there from Tuesday till now, in Brno, Czech Republic. Many people from all over Europe (like Cyprus, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Lithuania, ...) also joined this event. It was my first experience working together with so many people from different nations. We did also some sightseeing trips in Brno and in the neighborhood. UPDATE: Story & pictures online

We had international assembled workshops with mixed teams from people all over Europe. As we had also leisure time, we were visiting the city and some interessting places in the neighborhood.

Conclusion

I really enjoyed the days in Brno. As this was my first international seminar, working together with people all over Europe, I could learn a lot. Hopefully we all stay in contact and can organize international campains or another seminar.
