What it is all about?
In October 2012, all in all 24 young adults from Bulgaria, Macedonia and Germany meet in Berlin for the „European Youth Encounter – Tracing the Iron Curtain Trail“. They will deal with the Cold War and the Iron Curtain from a historical, political and cultural perspective and will work together on promoting the Iron Curtain Trail.
The participants of the encounter will have the opportunity to network, to develop ideas how to enhance the publicity of the Iron Curtain trail and how to better use it touristically. Moreover, they will discuss and develop regional projects promoting the ICT, or reinvigorate and deepen existing projects.
What is the Iron Curtain and what is the Iron Curtain Trail?
„For almost half a century, Europe was divided into East and West by the "Iron Curtain", a border stretching from the Barents Sea to the Black Sea. The Iron Curtain Trail invites people to retrace and experience the former division of the continent on a 6,800 km cycle track along the length of the former border, combining European culture, history and sustainable tourism“.
