Europe after the Fall of the Berlin Wall


The European Movement, the National Liberation Museum in Groesbeek and the PDC in The Hague are organising a student debate on the developments after the Fall of the Berlin Wall, 20 years ago. Which opportunities have been seized and which have been missed? Which expectations have come true and which expectations have not been fulfilled? An expert panel will debate with each other and with youngsters from various European countries.

 

Who will participate in our panel of experts? 

  • Arie Oostlander: former member of the European Parliament (1989-2004) for the Christen-Democrates. Moreover he is a former reporter for the European Parliament for ‘The strategy for expanding the EU’.
  • Wim van Meurs: political historian at the Radboud University.
  • Bruno van den Elshout: travelled through Eastern-Europe, interviewed many youngsters about their personal experiences and compiled the book ‘Crossroad Europe’.

Furthermore, youngsters attending the official commemoration of the fall of the wall at the European Parliament and a youngster from the former East-German Republic, will be present.

Join us and debate the past and the future of Europe!

This debate will be held on November 18th at 7.30 p.m. at the Radboud University in Nijmegen, Collegezalen Complex, Mercatorpad 1.
Registration: info@bevrijdingsmuseum.nl
