One of the highlights of the program for the tenth anniversary of the MQ is a big, full-day event on the theme of Europe for kids and young adults on May 6, 2011. It will include discussions with high-ranking representatives from politics and business. Workshops, exhibitions, literature, and performances give children and young adults an opportunity to playfully and critically explore European issues like integration, climate protection, sustainability, cultural diversity, and multilinguality. The program will conclude in the evening with a cabaret act followed by a concert in the Main MQ Courtyard. Lectures and discussions are held in German.
