Foreword

From April, 29th to May, 4th 15 young people from the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Poland and Sweden in Berlin in occasion of theenlargement of the European Union. This meeting of "old" and "new" membersof the EU called "Being young inEurope" was organized by a young association called Jugend bewegt Europa. The organizers invited young Europeanstudents to discuss with them the future of the European Union, their expectations, hopes, aims and fears concerning the new, enlarged Union. During these five days those young people were really "living the European Union": they learned a lot about the other countries and had controverse discussions about some important issues like the question of an European identity or the problems with giving the EU a constitution. This brochure shall give an impression of the workshop "Being young in Europe". It is written mainly by the participants. First the participants introduce themselves and their expectations towards the workshop. After that, they give a diary-like overview over the whole program and the results of workshops and discussions from their point of view.

We hope this report on our workshop is a good souvenir for the participants and gives an impression on the rich and interesting time that we had together. Those five days and the meeting with students from other countries showed that it is really worth building together the European Union.
