In June, 40 undergraduate students from CIVICA members Sciences Po, Bocconi University, The London School of Economics (LSE) and the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE), together with Swedish high-school students, took part in the first edition of the CIVICA European Week.

Several of the participating students have given their thoughts on how it was to cooperate with peers from other countries in the all-online event.
