16. In my capacity as secretary of Europe for Saarland,I appreciate a team from Saarland competing.The pupils of ASG-Dillingen have developed an excellent idea:A mandatory European Project Day at all educational institutions.At the right time for the young generation,That is a great and the right idea,
because the prospective success of the EU depends on the younger
generation.
Therefore I support this idea and I wish the team good luck.
