Dear students,
We are proud to announce that Student Forum Maastricht 2008 is coming up soon! The European Studies student association Concordantia from Maastricht University
would like to invite you all to participate in this annual international student conference.
Student Forum Maastricht focuses on the exchange of information between students from all over Europe, public officials, academics and representatives of NGOs in order to create a better understanding of the challenges facing Europe today. This year’s forum takes place from 10 to 14 March 2008.
Under the title “Social Realities in Europe: How to Reconcile Economic Growth and Social Security?”, SFM will try to incite a debate on the future of EU social policy. How could the EU alter its policy in order to act more effectively? All participants have the possibility to choose a particular field of interest out of six different sub-topics and explore it further in the following working groups: Unemployment, Labour Migration, Education, Intergenerational Justice, Health and Economic Paradigms. In the end, a final discussion among the participants will present the results on how to make Europe a sustainable and social environment for future generations.
SFM 2008 will provide students with an extensive academic programme that will address the issues at hand. Besides the working groups, which present the backbone of this conference, outstanding experts with political, social service or research backgrounds will hold lectures and answer your questions. On an excursion to Brussels, you will visit the European Parliament and have a panel discussion on “Economic Growth vs. Social Security: The Future of Social Europe”.
Furthermore, students will also be provided with an interesting and diverse activities programme in order to get to know each other and enjoy the time while in Maastricht.
