As part of the international youth encounters in the Danube region, the event "Young Danube Bridges" is held once a year in Vienna. The EU strategy for the Danube region and its 115 million inhabitants offers a unique opportunity to promote cross-border cooperation and accelerate the sustainable economic and cultural development of Central and Eastern Europe.

In this context, the project tries to get pupils from the Danube countries interested in the political development of Europe. The focus of the event is on conveying the contents of the macro strategy in a way that is appropriate for young people and on carrying out a political simulation game. In addition to an exciting city tour of Vienna, a visit to UNO City is also on the agenda.
