Dr. Jörg Schmitz-Giesldorf reads a greeting from Sabine Verheyen | Member of the European Parliament
at the HuB Kerkrade (NL)
A small team, but a great enthusiasm, performs an incredible feat! 45 years of Youth in Dialogue! 45 years of young people from all over the world coming together for peaceful dialogue and seeking direct human encounters beyond their national borders. A fantastic idea, a fantastic history and fantastic visionaries at work here. Today is the 45th birthday of the EURIADE! Just a few days before, Aouma Obama had been engaged in a dialogue with a group of young people. Direct, open, empathetic and... motivating! For the young people a highlight, an unforgettable memory and a great example of social commitment. But behind it all, always the EURIADE team. Quiet, hard-working, concentrated, organised and modest! This is how the board under the leadership of Prof. Werner Janssen has been carrying out its philosophical, pedagogical, practical, dialogical encounter work since the founding of the EURIADE.
What a special reason to say a big thank you today to the board of EURIADE for a social life's work!
