Visby 2023 - Call for Officials

NO MAN IS AN ISLAND - Reducing isolation and increasingcommunicationforajointEuropeanfuture.

Our goal for this session is to emphasise the need for connection through open communication and reducing isolation, both societally and in the session environment. To do this, we have emphasised three essential values welfare, inclusion, and innovation. We can achieve more together - so join us in building thissessionandourcollectiveEuropeanfuture.
