:: Mediating Europe - By, Between and Beyond in Minsk (Belarus) :: | ||||
On the 3rd of June 25 students from all over Europe gathered in Minsk, Belarus, for an AEGEE conference entitled “Mediating Europe: BY, Between and Beyond”. The three-day event focused on the relationships between Belarus, Moldova, Ukraine and the European Union. The event was the third conference organized in the larger framework of AEGEE’s large-scale project “EU & Europe”, dealing with the relations between the EU and its neighbours after the enlargement of the 1st of May 2004. Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova form a group of these neighbouring countries and, consequently, “Mediating Europe” focused on the relations between these states and the EU in its new composition. |
