Awarded every year by the European Parliament\, this Prize goes to projects “organised by people or organisations that encourage mutual understanding and closer integration between people in the EU\, cross-border cooperation that builds a stronger European spirit\, and EU values and fundamental rights.” \nIn addition\, the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe\, a long-standing partner of the AER of the Youth Regional Network (YRN)\, had supported the 2022 edition of the Summer Academy\, through the participation of their Secretary General and of their youth delegate for Switzerland. \n  \nContact persons at the AER Secretariat: Lorène Weber (l.weber@aer.eu)\, Programmes Coordinator; Barbara Polin (b.polin@aer.eu)\, Communications & Events Coordinator; Justin Sammon (j.sammon@aer.eu)\, Member Relations Coordinator. \n  \n \n  \n \n
