This is what a GEN.EU workshop looks like!

In June we hosted the first GEN.EU youth gathering in Thessaloniki. Young creators from Poland, Romania, France, Hungary, Austria and Spain spent three days working on digital storytelling, around one table, with a pile of sticky notes and a lot to say about work, housing and everything else that matters to them.

From 2 to 4 December we host the second one, this time in Krakow.
