Students from nine nationalities gathered at the Franco-German border, tearing down barriers and burning them in a demonstration for European unity. Shouting 'Europe is here!', they carried out a symbolic protest against national borders. The event, organized by the Inter-University Federal Union, saw no interference from customs officers as students engaged in this act of defiance at a site linked to past conflicts.
