The French international seminar « Cross-border cooperation: bringing borders together » which will be held in Lille (North of France) from 13th to 16th March 2016 aims to mobilise young Europeans to increase the awareness of cross-border cooperation.Since the 90’, the European Union set up Territorial Cooperation Programmes (INTERREG) in order to promote partnership and mutual support between border regions through joint projects. These measures allow citizens of each side of the border to develop connections and benefit from best practice exchanges. While these programmes are increasingly widespread within border areas they are rather unknown in other regions.The initiative could enable cross-border sections to set up joint projects to develop actions of “Young European Federalists” everywhere in Europe and allow them to think about the cross-border cooperation, its opportunities or about the INTERREGs Program efficiency.Through the exchange of ideas, methodology and best practices, combined with discussions with experts, politicians and representatives of the EU institutions participants of the seminar will improve their skills in developing projects and acquire knowledge of the possibilities offered by cross-border cooperation.Participants will also become key players as they will be able to present the cross-border cooperation in their own country. Furthermore, they will get the opportunity to get advice from cross border cooperation experts to launch own projects with other JEF sections.
