From 5^th to 7^th September we had the honor and pleasure to attend the 3^rd edition of the political school Meritare l’Europa, organised by our partners from Italia Viva in Palermo (Italy).

Over 400 young people learned, shared and imagined the future of Europe and the place of Italy in it together. With the help of the frame and information provided by various elected politicians, experts and mind opening people.

Moments of bonding were shared and Renew Europe, Italia Viva and Matteo Renzi made sure that we would participe in it (outdoors activities, cultural elements shared about Sicily).

Our Secretary General, Alice Bernard-Montini was interviewed in Radio Leopolda, the radio of Italia Viva, on the value of political schools like Meritare l’Europa for the creation of a bold European citizenship.

Big thanks to MEP Nicola Danti for inviting us and to our Vicepresident Matteo Brizzi for his great work in YDE and Italia Viva!

A YDE delegation gathered in Strasbourg on the 9^th and 10^th of June, joining young leaders, activists, and enthusiasts from all across Europe to engage in vibrant discussions, share ideas, and shape the future of our continent. EYE 2023 provided a unique platform for us to make a resounding impact and highlight the importance of democratic values, inclusivity, and progressive policies.

Our dedicated team was at the forefront, actively engaging with participants, fostering meaningful connections, and exploring collaborative initiatives. Through an exciting lineup of workshops, debates, and interactive sessions, EYE 2023 inspired and empowered us all.

Together, we discussed pressing issues such as climate action, social justice, and democratic reforms. We exchanged ideas, gained fresh perspectives, and worked towards bringing about positive change.

As part of our participation, we were honored to be invited to the exclusive breakfast organized by Renew Europe. This special event brought together inspiring individuals and allowed us to connect with like-minded individuals.

At the beginning of May our board member Magdalena Ilg from Junge Freie Wahler represented YDE at LYMEC Spring Congress in Budapest.

Besides of the opportunity of holding a short speech about YDE it was a chance to connect with our partners from the Renew Europe Group.

It was an honor to meet Kira Rudik, who is member of the parliament in Ukraine and also listening to a speech from Luxemburg’s prime minister Xavier Bettel.

Further it was a pleasure to get to know the beautiful city of Budapest and hear more about Hungarian politics from Vice-Mayor Daniel Berg and Vice President of the youth party Momentum TizenX.

It is important that we as young politicians work on the future of Europe.
Therefore, we thank LYMEC for the invitation and the good cooperation.
