The youth online platform MladiRini will collect the written contributions of the participants. At the end of the project, a Transnational Publication will be prepared, analyzing the conclusions from all events. This publication will be presented at a final conference in Brussels, where event representatives, stakeholders, and experts will discuss the project and its outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>As in the previous event in Athens, participants enjoyed the opportunity to discuss the three topics of the event: Climate Change, EU Enlargement, and the Rule of Law. The discussion on each topic was guided by the event speakers: <strong>Ms. Kyriaki Metaxa<\/strong> (<em>Heinrich B\u00f6ll Foundation<\/em>), <strong>Dr. Alexandra Prodromidou<\/strong> (City College and SEERC), and <strong>Dr. Panagiotis Paschalidis<\/strong> (<em>SEERC and ELIAMEP<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>What stood out on Saturday was the intense and dynamic exchanges of ideas and opinions, highlighting citizens&#8217; strong desire for change.
