On June 30th the Member of the European Parliament Michael Theurer awarded EUJS the European Citizen’s Prize in the name of European Parliament President Jerzy Buzek.

The European Citizen’s Prize is a reward for the special achievements of EUJS’ activities that demonstrated exceptional commitment to promoting better mutual understanding and closer integration between the peoples of Member States and through cooperation within the European Union, and EUJS actions which engaged in cross-border cultural cooperation in the long term, helping to strengthen the European spirit and contribute to further European integration.

EUJS President Benjamin Zagzag said that “EUJS is proud and honoured to be awarded such a prize and there is no doubt that it will be of huge benefit to EUJS and to European Jewish students, who are highly politically motivated and proud to see their efforts lauded”.
