Are you a young person from Ukraine, Italy, Germany or Poland and have two weeks to spare in the summer? Do you want to make good use of your vacation and spend it in an international community where you can get to know new cultures, languages and people? Are you interested in history and social topics that are historically relevant and highly topical?
Then YOUNION is the right place for you:
YOUNION is an international youth exchange for young people from Europe where they live and work together for two weeks. The group takes part in different workshops during the day. The workshops revolve around the Second World War and around prisoners of war imprisoned in Stalag VIII A – a prisoner of war camp (1939-1945). Today Stalag VIII A is a place of memory and education for people from around the world. It is located in the European Twincity Görlitz-Zgorzelec (located at the German-Polish border).
