The concept of our EdU camp deliberately and in a special way aimed to teach young people from Germany, France, Kosovo and Albania and with different social backgrounds ("Leave no one behind") the comprehensive canon of values of our EU, on the basis of which a peaceful, solidary, respectful and cooperative coexistence of peoples can flourish. Around 100 participants practised this togetherness for a week in various formats. Our work was based on the EU youth strategy "Participation, Encounter, Empowerment" as well as the EU Green Deal project and the sustainability goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda (SDGs). The topic of environmentally-conscious behaviour was a recurring theme. The reconciliation of economy and ecology was conveyed to the pupils as an urgent task of our time in order to enable future generations to have an environment worth living in all over the planet. The enormous linguistic and cultural diversity of our continent should not be considered by young people as an obstacle, but as an asset and an opportunity. For this reason, a reflection on fundamental European values such as freedom, democracy, the rule of law, separation of powers, tolerance, solidarity, pluralism, international understanding, justice, non-discrimination, the welfare state and mutual respect was an essential part of our EdU camp - both before, during and after the event. The foundation for the elimination of prejudices and stereotypes, a prerequisite of the European core values, was laid right at the beginning when the pupils jointly developed and then signed a code of conduct for the duration of the project. A basic prerequisite for understanding and respect is the development of strong dialogue skills as a key competence. In our workshop "Let's talk - dialogue skills as a core competence", the participants were specifically enabled to engage in respectful and appreciative encounters. The two neighbouring countries Germany and France have succeeded in developing a stable friendship out of hereditary enmity. The French Consul General's remarks at the opening ceremony highlighted this bilateral development as a pioneering and exemplary development for young people. Young people are the future of Europe and are shaping its development. The development of German-French relations gave the young people from the Western Balkans an orientation as well as the confidence that existing tensions in their region can also be reduced and that a forward-looking understanding between the different ethnic groups is possible. They realised that they could be part of this solution. The pupils recognised that openness, respect and tolerance must be a basic attitude for all citizens of the EU so that the future can be shaped together rather than against each other. It was favourable for the learning process of the pupils that the elections to the European Parliament were only a few weeks ago. By studying the process and results of this election, they were able to understand how every citizen can get involved in the political shaping of our continent. The events surrounding this election were covered in advance by the teachers so that the pupils were able to ask the former EU Commissioner Günther H. Oettinger qualified questions on European topics. In the subsequent "Europe" workshop, for example, the democratic functioning mechanisms of the community of states, their positions and projects, but also their problems were analysed in depth. The pupils were able to sharpen their democratic awareness and were sensitised to the dangers of nationalism and populism. Throughout the entire project week, the pupils trained their discourse, communication and compromise skills. They practised a rule-based culture of discussion, learnt to listen and contribute constructively. The project week was therefore beneficial for everyone throughout. The skills acquired or deepened were also consolidated by actively transferring them, with each workshop having to present their results clearly to the plenum and a large number of guests. This brought the core elements of what had been learnt back into focus. Students from socially disadvantaged backgrounds received individual support from their workshop leaders, enabling them to take on a responsible role within the group. This was also reflected in the presentation of the project results in the plenary session, making our EdU camp a comprehensive, holistic meeting and learning experience for all participants, who returned to their home towns as ambassadors of Europe and its values.
