The project "young people meet politicians" gave the opportunity of a dialogue to 70 young people and politicians from Solingen and its twin towns in Germany. The project consisted of: a five day workshop (history of Europe, spaces to create concerning involvement in Europe, Year of intercultural dialogue, elections to the European Parliament 2009, core values of the EU) with young people and politicians including a one day final conference, involvement of young people as political scouts and a reflection conference. As a follow-up the group carried out a "political" trip to Brussels.
