Due to a low number of registrations we regret to ahve to cancel the policy summer school this year.       The #politathon is a new type of a modern and result-oriented event in the field of civic education. The hackathons ("hack" + "marathons") are the role-model for this type of event. Hackathons are well-established in the field of informatics as well as in information and data processing. Due to the high level of activity participants produce measurable output, results and solutions on given challenges. We combine the work on solutions of political challenges with the format of a hackathon. In each sprint you work in a group on a single question as long as you may think you have an answer. At the end of each sprint you present your solution to the audience. After your presentation you start again with another problem. The #politathon is organised in cooperation with Friedrich-Naumann-Stiftung für die Freiheit PROGRAMME Thursday, July 4th 2019 18:00 Arrival and dinner buffet 19:00 Welcome and introduction in the #politathon Martin Thoma, Head of Unit Liberal Positions & Co-operation Danica Vihinen, LYMEC Secretary General 19:30 Presentation of the topic cluster and introduction of each moderator 20:30 Short introduction to the sub-problems 21:00 Sprint 1 22:30 open end ("only the sunrise is the limit")   Friday, July 5th 2019 09:00 Deadline #one: Presentation of previous results and go ahead with new friends 09:30 Sprint 2 14:00 Deadline #two: Presentation of previous results and go ahead with new friends 14:30 Sprint 3 19:30 Deadline #three: Presentation of previous results 20:30 FUNATHON@THA: solve the problem of evening activities   Saturday, July 6th 2019 09:00 Deadline #three: Presentation of previous results and go ahead with new friends 09:30 Sprint 4 14:00 Deadline #4: Presentation of previous results and go ahead with new friends 14:30 Sprint 5 19:30 Deadline #five 20:30 FUNATHON@THA: solve the problem of evening activities   Sunday, July 7th 2019 09:00 Solutions are put together within a topic cluster and are prepared for presentation 12:00 Presentation 14:00 Be proud of you!
