The year 2015 started with the attack on the French satire magazine Charlie Hebdo. A little later occured the probably biggest accident of refugees in the Mediterranean Sea und since summer more and more refugees arrived in Austria and Germany. On the other side grew activities like Pegida in Germany and Ausschaffungsinitiative in Switzerland. Politics and Society reacted correspondingly insecure. In youth around Lake of Constance already existed diverse individual initiatives, campaigns and projects about those topics. Youth officers of federal states, cantons and districts around Lake of Constance are interlinked in the project group youth engagement of International Lake Constance Conference (IBK). Since 2003 this cooperation organized several cross-border youth conferences, an idea competition in cross-border youth exchange and a dialog between youth and regional politicians. In early 2015 originated the idea of a participative cross-border project for dialogue and empowerment of youth dealing with the topics religious (in-)tolerance, migration, refugees, human rights and integration. Between September and October of 2015 97 young adults with and without migration background and refugees met in six regional half-day preparing workshops (25.9. Liechtenstein/Vorarlberg, 26.9. St.Gallen / Appenzell Innerrhoden / Appenzell Ausserrhoden, 26.09. Zürich / Schaffhausen / Thurgau, 27.10. Landkreise Ravensburg und Lindau, 30.10. Landkreis Konstanz, 31.10. Bodenseekreis / Landkreis Sigmaringen). Young adults reflected their respective perspectives, exchanged best practices und developed suggestions und demands on the following topics: right for a good life, home, successful integration in Lake of Constance region, own local engagement, fears; uncertainties; prejudices, religions, fighting against reasons to escape, European migration policy, solidarity Europe, European values. On 4th of November 2015 all young adults met for the „Europakonzil“ in Konstanz. They mutually presented their regional results, they continued working in mixed groups and they were coached about acting. In the morning of 5th of November they continued working on their demands together with the Minister for European Affairs of the federal state of Baden-Württemberg Peter Friedrich. In the afternoon they met about 30 regional officials, inter alia Landesrat Schwärzler (AT), Grossratspräsident Arnold (CH, TG), OB Burchardt (Konstanz), Nationalrat Naef (CH, ZH), L. Frommelt, Kinder- und Jugenddienst (FL), as well as out of enterprises, parliaments, administrations, candidates, NGOs, churches, unions and members of the board of Trustess of Konstanzer Konzil Award – Award for European dialogue and encounters. After an introduction took place intense mixed discussions. In the evening the young adults offered so called gallery walks to the results of the process for the about 400 persons of the audience of the Konzil Award. During the award ceremony the young adults performed their performances about their results and demands.

He was supported by a service provider for social media communication and the professionals of the IBK working group.

On 1 of January 30 participants in the process travelled to the initial refugee reception in Sachbachwalden, Baden-Württemberg. After a guided tour they spend the afternoon together with the refugees, cooking, playing, tinkering, play music and talking.
