With our project, we pursued six key objectives from our accreditation application, which we consistently implemented throughout its execution. Our first goal was to involve former and new participants more deeply in the design of the project, giving them the opportunity to shape it according to their needs. Thanks to the accreditation, we were able to place a stronger focus on knowledge transfer, training, and team building. The qualification seminar in Bolzano, attended by 34 participants, was central in this regard: younger and more experienced team members connected with each other, further developed the SchulBrücken program through method trainings and best-practice exchanges, and integrated historical sites as learning spaces. In Bar Camp sessions, innovative approaches for future encounters emerged, while visits to memorial sites demonstrated how seminar venues themselves can become valuable educational resources. Secondly, we aimed to internationalize and diversify our partnerships. Through the four SchulBrücken events in Lübeck, Weimar, Wuppertal, and Greifswald, we reached 191 young people from ten European countries, including Germany, Italy, Slovakia, Poland, Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Croatia, France, and Sweden. This geographical diversity was deliberately chosen to bring together different European perspectives. The variety enabled rich intercultural learning processes and sustainably strengthened the European idea, particularly through the inclusion of countries from various regions of Europe. Thirdly, we promoted inclusion and diversity comprehensively. Among the total of 225 participants, 33 individuals with fewer opportunities—mainly facing economic and geographical barriers—were able to take part. We deliberately accepted additional costs and adjustments to ensure access for all interested individuals and to foster diverse perspectives. This inclusive approach significantly shaped the encounters and demonstrated that European educational work can only be effective when it reaches all segments of society. Fourthly, the accreditation allowed us greater flexibility in project implementation. Since we often need to reserve dates with educational institutions far in advance, while schools confirm their schedules later, we were able to respond flexibly to scheduling conflicts or cancellations and quickly find partner organizations. This organizational agility proved to be a decisive advantage in the often complex coordination of international youth exchanges. As a fifth goal, we brought together motivated young people, youth work professionals, and staff from partner organizations to exchange ideas and build capacities for different formats. The alumni work particularly highlights the lasting impact: former participants founded the SchulBrücken Alumni Association, now organize their own projects in line with European objectives, and engage politically and socially in their home regions. This multiplier effect extends the project’s impact far beyond the encounters themselves. Sixthly, we sought to involve participants even more deeply in all aspects and support them in participatory projects arising directly from their own concerns, thereby strengthening the network and enhancing the local impact. Participants were encouraged to take responsibility themselves and contribute their ideas for a shared European future. At the heart of our efforts was the goal of creating a counterbalance in times of multiple crises and empowering young people to look to the future with hope and confidence. We aimed to show that the future is not deterministic but can be meaningfully shaped by our actions and good ideas. Through non-formal, innovative learning structures and methods, we opened new pathways to topics such as sustainability, participation, digital transformation, and solidarity. We pursued a philosophical, holistic approach that highlights interconnections and encourages critical reflection. Our participants built close relationships and friendships across Europe and developed multilingual, personal, social, and cultural competencies that had a lasting impact on their European identity.
