FREI-FROM RESISTANCE TO EUROPEAN INTEGRATION -

Romania`s Path to Democracy

On 10 June 2026, FREI project partner LSFTB – Liga Scriitorilor Filiala Timișoara Banat is hosting a local event in Timișoara, Romania. Through creative workshops, personal testimony, and structured debate, young participants will explore themes of identity, discrimination, historical memory, and democratic values — in the context of Romania's path from communism to European integration.

The event is open to students and young people interested in history, social justice, inclusion, and intercultural dialogue, and brings together voices from Romania and neighbouring countries.
