I’m delighted that cultural and civil society cooperation has now come to the fore in the Weimar Triangle alongside political dialogue.
Numerous trilateral events demonstrate that the public has really caught the “Weimar spark”. This goes to show that the vision embodied in the three-country partnership strategy has become firmly anchored in civil society.
And I feel especially delighted and optimistic seeing that three young people are receiving this award. The young people of our countries are the ones who will in future shape cohesion in Europe and develop new visions.
