By considering the past, and the way in which the different parts of Europe had influenced each other, consideration was given to the future of Europe and the Community.
Participants received worksheets, and suggestions for discussion topics, at the Opening Ceremony. Token examples of the influence of the rest on Europe on England, and Cambridge were included, with lists of objects that "mark" such influences. Maps of Europe at approximately 1000 year intervals, were also provided.
Participants, during the week, discussed their expectations of the next 100 (or 1000!) years. Results had to be returned by mid-day 27 April 2000. They were reported on at the Gala evening
