The creative work is the heart of your application and should deal with the general theme “How Europe Wins” and ideally one of the four tracks. It can be designed in any form – whether visual, written, graphic, plastic or in a completely different way. We like to be surprised! Seminar papers and essays are not considered creative work.

Yes, it must be created specifically for this application. Seminar papers/essays do not count.

For digital creative work, a maximum file size of 25 MB applies. For larger files or physical work, please contact us in advance at info@clubtirol.or.at for alternative submission options.

The creative work should be created by you alone, as it is intended to reflect your personal examination of the topic.

We are interested in two things: (1) which perspectives/experiences/questions you bring into the forum (e.g. from work, training, studies, voluntary work, family, reality of life). (2) What you yourself specificly expect (e.g. which topics you want to deepen, which formats are you interested in, what type of exchange/network you are looking for). It doesn’t have to be a “finished contribution” – also curiosity and good questions count.

The point here is that you can share something personal, which you authentically are passionate about – completely regardless of whether it is political, social, professional or a hobby. We are interested in what really drives you and why. This part will not rated because it shouldn’t be a “performance part”, but should give space to get to know you better as a person.

Describe a situation in which you yourself became active instead of waiting. Important are context, your role, your concrete actions and what has changed as a result (Even small, local or personal situations count). It doesn’t have to be a big project – the decisive factor is that we can understand your share in it.

Fireside chats are a special format at EFA. In a confidential, informal setting, you can talk to interesting speakers and ask them direct questions. These conversations take place under the “Chatham House Rules”, which means that content may be shared, but without naming the person speaking.

You can choose any person (e.g. from politics, science, economy, culture, civil society) – it doesn’t have to be famous. is important why you would choose this person and which one a question you would ask (preferably critical). The question should be formulated in such a way that it opens a real conversation (not just “yes/no”).

A pointed, unconventional view of a current social question that is easy to discuss. It’s not about just saying something provocative, but about a change of perspective or a thesis about which one can argue constructively. Please formulate respectfully and without devaluing groups of people.
