The seven-day-long multilateral youth exchange programme “Perspectives for Europe – Time goes on!” was held at the Peseckendorf Regional Youth Education Centre with 32 participants from the age of 16–23 from five European countries (Estonia, France, Poland, Romania and Germany). Having travelled from near and far, the youth at this meeting gained deep insight into the daily life of all of the participants and their respective living conditions. Long discussions about the idea of Europe and its meaning for the youth led to time speeding by much too quickly for them. The youth developed a very strong sense of commitment to a common Europe through activities such as the future workshop, experiential educational activities in Magdeburg, trips to Berlin, volleyball and football games as well as in the individually-designed leisure time. Education policy was repeatedly the focus of the talks and was also the topic of the future workshop. The participants called for free elementary and secondary education, the optimisation of educational qualifications for the purpose of a common Europe, as well as better access to education for all. The various competencies and cultural skills should be learned in an experience-oriented way, especially in the higher level classes. Moreover, natural sciences should be taught in labs and workshops, art and culture in theatres and museums. While, 20th century teachers took more and more of a back seat in this regard, in the 21st century, the social pedagogues and social workers are now established as the individuals to which schools refer for expert advice. The idea of a social community is becoming increasingly relevant and has a vested interest in the best possible education for young people. The youth exchange therefore discovered an optimistic way into a future that is open-wide. The next topic could be, for example, “Global Village”, and it would certainly be another success.
