EUROPEAN YOUTH SUMMIT 2018 DAY 4
On the last day, we started by sharing final messages (little notes in different languages) with each other and saying goodbye. As the last activity, we attended the Conference Closing Ceremony where Marco Agozzino gave an inspiring speech about what we achieved at Summit and what is possible in the future of the Platform.

EUROPEAN YOUTH SUMMIT 2018 DAY 3
On the 3rd day before noon, we talked about how the perfect school should look like from the point of view of the students with high ability. We will soon publish our conclusions online (and notify you here). In the afternoon, we developed new ideas for regional projects and cross-border cooperations in e.g. Denmark-Ireland, Czechia-Slovakia-Austria-Hungary, Italy-Spain etc. We hope to actually develop some of the projects in the next 1-2 years. In the evening we presented to each other our national cuisine and traditions.
