I’ve always been crazy about participating in different projects. To work in a team, that’s what encourages me a lot, you have so much fun while working with young people. The topic of the event is crucial and, on the other hand, I would like to study political sciences – so this is my personal motivation. I can learn a bit more about Europe while participating.

“What’s important for me is that you can meet a lot of new people from different European regions, especially girls (kidding). You can get a lot of new ideas, even for your personal development. It’s also fun to see how different countries are represented on stage by the young generation.

It’s very important for me to be a European citizen. I feel that I’m European while taking part in the ‘Do you speak European?’ competition. To be able to speak at a European level, that’s great. It’s much more different than to speak from your native country, the way you see Europe is different. When participating, we can change our minds for the best. For me it’s also important to gain some knowledge on the development of Europe.

I’m just enthusiastic about learning new things. I find the whole concept of the European Union fantastic.  Europe is a powerful continent and better results can be only achieved when all the countries are gathered together. We can achieve great results, and I’m proud that I’m part of it.
