Not an easy task, as Arnau Gifreu Castells, member of the EYA Jury, states: “Every year it is more difficult to be selected as a winner of the EYA contest. This shows that the quantity and quality of projects is increasing.” EYA Grand Jury Meeting and Expert Forum are organized in cooperation with the SHARE Cluj-Napoca Federation and the Babes-Bolyai University.
