Already as a preparation the contributors were asked to get acquainted with Instagram as a method and to take photos to visualize what identity, borders and the future of the baltic region means to them. You can find some of the photos in the room #wherewecomefrom, others are on the #balticeye Instagram page
 
During the week in Estonia the Young Europeans got the chance to meet locals, experts and politicians from the region to discuss their impressions and interpretations; participated in exercises about identity and life with a border and thus shaped their understanding of the concept of “Baltic Identity”. On their journey they were accompanied by a team of trainers, which supported them to find their ‘missions’, ask their questions and select their photos and – last but not least – to finalise the #balticeye exhibition.
