During this event, young people gather to discuss the current realities faced by youth of the Baltic Sea Regions in general. Often, participants are part of their respective national, regional or local organisations, NGO’s, or movements, making it an excellent opportunity for networking and sharing challenges and best practices among aspiring professionals.
