Report BEA 2019
Final Program BEA 2019
"United in Diversity could easily be also the motto of the ID Agora. Sharing a common goal and work towards that with other passionate young participants and amazing speakers from a variety of backgrounds was an enlightening experience. BEA19 was the example that cooperation is possible, it was the right place to create projects and ask ourselves questions about our common interest!"
"Not only the outstanding organization and the extremely high level of professional content made the event so successful, but also each and every person who was present there. It was really unbelievable for me to see that people exchanged their views and somehow understood and learnt from each other as persons, as well. It really happened, guys, and this is how we build up Europe."
"The values of respect, tolerance and embrace of such differences united us all. And this is what the Agora was about to me. I strongly believe that the European identity should be built around the enhancing and promotion of such values. I strongly believe in one of the main takeaways that I had from the Agora: the identity can be built and chosen. Therefore, I choose to have an identity that embraces diversity and change and faces problems with tolerance and a sensible approach."
"Brilliant participants, exceptional speakers, amazing location and relevant topics. This was BEA19 to me. A unique occasion to meet fellow Europeans engaged in bringing about social change in different fields. The proof that the creation of a positive, inspired, experienced European ruling class is an achievable and very valuable goal."
