For its second Coffee Talk in Lebanon, the European Union has chosen to head to the Bekaa, a rural agricultural region in the centre of the country to reach out to the young Lebanese and get theopportunity to talk to them, listen to their hopes and worries, and exchange views about the EU activities in Lebanon. The Coffee Talk was rich in dialogue and offered an opportunity for representatives of the European Union to present EU initiatives in the country, in particular those aimed at young people, in a range of fields, from the environment to the empowerment of women, agriculture and start-ups, as well as the Erasmus programme.
