Das Interview fungierte lediglich als Einstieg zu der Veranstaltung.
Im Konferenzraum saßen türkische und estnische Lehrkräfte, griechische, italienische und deutsche Schüler*innen, die mittels Filmen, Bildern und Gesprächen deutlich machten, dass der europäische Gedanke ein hervorragendes Bindungselement ist und viele Menschen der Pandemie zum Trotz dicht beieinander waren.
