EUREGIO Youth is a pioneering platform for young people from the German-Dutch border region who want to get actively involved in the border region. Hanseatic cities such as Rijssen, Oldenzaal, Münster and Osnabrück are located in the EUREGIO. As a result, both youthHansa and EUREGIO Youth saw an opportunity to join forces, which resulted in this episode, among others.
In this podcast, recorded at the EUREGIO office just a stone's throw from the German-Dutch border, they talk about their experiences as members of these organisations and how others can participate. The podcast uses a unique, ground-breaking format: each speaker uses their own native language, with bilingual presenter Sina Kuipers acting as an intermediary, making the podcast accessible to both Dutch and German listeners.
We asked one of the participants, Julius Lobe, to review the recording of the podcast: "The ‘Stampodcast’ of the EUREGIO offered tremendous opportunities, at first being to see friends and familiar faces from the YouthHansa again. Secondly it made it possible to talk in a more public way about the chances which the YouthHansa offers. At this stage I want to point out the chances which this organisation offers, for one the network of young people and the meeting opportunities with the culture and identity of the countries we visit. The recording of the podcast woke up in the others and me the anticipation for the next Hanseatic Days in Gdansk in June 2024."
You can listen to the podcast via Spotify, Apple Music or the EUREGIO website. Have fun!
