The aim of the Visegrad Summer School has been to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and to create an alternative learning environment for young people from Central and Eastern Europe. The summer school has been organized to lower prejudice and stereotypes of particular ethnic groups.

50 young people from V4 countries and selected other countries of Eastern Europe were participating on the summer school. Visegrad Summer School belongs to the group of prominent alternative forms of education and cooperation of young people in Central and Eastern Europe. In the course of previous years participants prepared their projects that continued after the Summer school.
