Known at the time as the "Europe House Otzenhausen", the European Academy was founded by the European Union in May 1954 as a meeting place for promoting Franco-German reconciliation, especially among young people. With the signing of the Treaty of Rome and the birth of the European Community it was decided to develop the Europe House Otzenhausen for European Youth and adult education and as an information center. In 1969, with the subsequent increase in the volume of work, staff, and premises the Europe House Otzenhausen became the first education center to be called a European Academy. It is not aligned with any political party or religious denomination. The Academy is situated in woods on the edge of the village of Otzenhausen between Trier and Kaiserslautern (south-west of Germany). Accommodation per person (including all meals from Sunday evening until Friday Lunch) costs 500 DM in double rooms. For single rooms the costs increase to 650 DM. Please, note that the overall number of participants at EWCBR (especially the number of single rooms) is restricted. =============================================================================== Registration: =============================================================================== Please register for EWCBR-93 before September 15th 1993.
