‘Dialo(o)g(ue) I’

In this section of the Next Generation, Please project young people between 15 and 25 years of age enter into conversation with a politician, a scientist or an artist. The politician answers questions about immigration, freedom or employment from his extensive knowledge about Europe. The artist and scientist then provide their contributions based on their vision of the world and society. Experienced journalists steer the conversation in the right direction.

In collaboration with Brussels Days and Europe, last chance (l’Obs, de Standaard and Le Soir)
