Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje (UKIM), University of Tetova (DUT), South East European University (SEEU), Goce Delchev University in Stip (UGD), University American College Skopje (UASC), International Slavic University (MSU) etc.). In addition to the student debate there was an oratory skills contest.

The manifestation is a solid platform for student debates on European Union about extending the European values and perceiving youth perspectives. Also, this event is very important for student coexistence regarding sharing experiences, acquiring friendships, but also for encouraging cooperation between the universities.
