YES 2015- The biggest one yet!

Young Europeans’ Seminar is an annual YFU Event that takes place in Werbellinnsee, Germany. It’s a seminar for European students who go to another European country on an exchange. YES 2015 gathered 505 students and 131 volunteers! There were 40 students and 6 volunteers from Estonia. The International Group Leaders this year were Martin Arro, Henri Lempu and Sandra Järv.

Every year there’s a certain topic that concentrates on an important factor of today’s society. This year’s topic was Human Rights in a Digitalized World. Students got to listen to different guest speakers who talked about human rights, data privacy, and the right to information. YES also has another very important aim besides the educational one. It’s the aim of making the return to student’s home country a little easier.

This year the organizing counties were Lithuania, Germany and Romania. Everything was very nicely organized and the topic was interesting for everybody.

All in all we can say that YES 2015 was a big success
