'My Europe - Greece' online on 26.05.2021

My Europe / Mein Europa

My Europe' is an interactive digital series of events that invites its guests to discover Europe.
How does it work? It's simple: We talk to young people from various countries about Europe and their personal topics of interest. The topics are as diverse as the speakers and can range from current political and social developments through culture and science to one's own commitment to greater tolerance or solidarity. In addition to the given topic, all participants can also vote live on other topics and ask questions on the evening itself.

On 26 May Georgia Petropoulou will take you on a trip to Greece

Georgia is 27 years old and is originally from Peloponnese. She studied European Studies, Political Science and Diplomacy at the University of Macedonia in Thessaloniki and International Relations and International Security at the University of Groningen. Since then, she has been living in the Netherlands. In 2019, she was selected as one of the first Charlemagne Prize Fellows and was funded for her research project on the influences of a European connectivity strategy on the EU enlargement of the Western Balkan countries.

The event in English will be moderated by Melvin Klein. Georgia will show the audience differences between living in Greece and living in the Netherlands in her personal perception. After that the EU Enlargement of the Western Balkans is her "Topic of the Heart": Georgia will briefly tell about status quo, developments, benefits and open questions.

Furthermore the audience will get the chance to vote on several other topics that will be discussed during the event. Three of these topics will be covered:

• Why is Greece politically important for the EU?
• An overview on the Macedonian name dispute
• The education system in Greece (Focus on studying in Greece)
• An update on the current Covid situation
