I hope that this meeting here today with  all these people from different countries

We tweet stories and events  from the First World War

on the exact same date  and the exact same time

if we have the time  when they actually happened.

And these stories are not only about  war declarations and important battles,

we tweet really from the living room,  from the kitchen, from the school,

from cinemas, theatres, the everyday life  both in the trenches and at home.

It's a website which examines  what a border is,

what the history of the border is,  how borders develop throughout Europe.

And it has increasingly become  a story about people

who live at the border  or travel across the border.

On weekends we organise  a football match with around 20 teams.

Half of them come  from the region around Austria

and the rest  from other European countries.

In addition to the match there are several  workshops and activities

where young people can meet  and liaise with each other

The main idea of the project was to understand  what an entrepreneur is

and for young people to understand  how they can be creative

and how they can promote new ideas  and make them succeed.

We are a newspaper  of more than 120 students of journalism

and we report on many things,  but the focus is on Europe,

because we have 25 correspondents  around Europe.

They are reporting about the good face  of Europe, not the crisis.
