Daniel Kaddik, from the Friedrich Naumann Foundation in Southeast Europe will give the political context of the region. The rest of the event will consist of presentations, followed by debates or working groups, where examples of campaigns from ALDE Group, ALDE member parties or LYMEC member organisations are shown.
