The event has been officially opened trough keynote speeches delivered by the Chairwoman of the Committee on Culture and Education of the European Parliament, Ms Sabine VERHEYEN MEP, the President of the Parliament of the German Speaking Community in Belgium and form President of the Committee of Regions of the European Union, Mr Karl-Heinz LAMBERTZ, and by Prof. Ion MARIN from the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria.

The LUSATIA GLOW (LG) project is an integral part of our SLAVONIC NEW WAVE (SNW) framework programme (see attachment) and starts from the Lusatian triangle – trojstyk – between Poland, Czech Republic and Germany. At the heart of the project is the people of the Lusatian Sorbs / Wends as natural ambassadors between the three countries having the aim of providing a unique model for all cross-border peoples and minorities across Europe as integration synapses: On this basis, a dense network of cross-border integration centres will be unpacked in a bottom-up way across the European continent.

Approaching European Integration through individual linguistic cross-border ethnicities as integration junctions implies a complete paradigm shift in the EU integration policy and aims to contribute, in particular, to the cohesion of Central and Eastern Europe in these turbulent times.
