Jack Hanning, Secretary General of the European Association of Schools of Political Studies, to talk on youth and Europe. The presentation will be held on March 5th, 2014, at 7:30 pm, in the Auditorium of Hellenic American Union, at 22 Massalias street, Athens.
The Hellenic American College in cooperation with Hellenic American University (Manchester, NH, USA) invites you to attend a free lecture entitled “How Europe’s youth can shape a new European identity”, by Jack Hanning, the Secretary General of the European Association of Schools of Political Studies and former External Relations Director of Council of Europe.
Europe is currently in crisis. Nationalistic and separatist movements are rising, while governments and the political world are rather reserved towards the idea of Europe. How can Europe deal with this crisis? How can youth’s active citizenship be encouraged? How can their European identity be formed?
