Against the backdrop of increasing polarisation and growing challenges to social cohesion, this meet-up of the Genshagen Foundation Alumni Network will be dedicated to exploring what role European cooperation and civic engagement can play in shaping the future of Europe. The gathering aims to further develop the network of Genshagen alumni as a community of young Europeans and to empower its members to shape its future together. The focus will lie on fostering individual initiative, democratic participation, and cross-border cooperation. During the meet-up, the alumni will have the opportunity to develop concrete project ideas and establish thematic working groups for their future activities. 

The Genshagen Foundation Alumni Network brings together students and young professionals from France, Germany, Poland, and across Europe. What unites them is their commitment to advancing the European project and strengthening Franco-German-Polish relations. 

Partners: Genshagen Foundation Alumni Network e.V. 

Supported by: Franco-German Youth Office, German Association of Members of the French Legion of Honour and the French National Order of Merit e.v., Friends of the Genshagen Foundation e.V.
