Our activity includes an innovative method to introduce European opportunities to young people. In this context, a paragliding event, which is one of the extreme sports that young people show great interest in, was chosen. Participants were taken away from the boring office environment and hosted in a location with plenty of oxygen and great natural scenery. Before the event, information was provided about Eurodesk, European opportunities, and European culture. After the briefing, participants were enabled to join the paragliding flight-watching activity.
