… and I was happy to join and address the participants!
“This forum focuses on helping youth engage with Europe’s key challenges and opportunities. And I’m here to remind you that the EU is not something distant or abstract. It’s in your school, your travels, your friendships, your first job or internship, your digital life—even in the way you dream big.
Take 📣Erasmus+📣 – since it started 38 years ago, it has supported 16 million people to study, train, volunteer or work abroad.
Or look at Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs – a chance to build your business ideas by learning from experienced mentors across Europe, with travel and living costs covered.
The EU is investing in skills, education and inclusion – because it believes in YOUR potential. And what’s even better? It’s not just about what the EU offers you—it’s about how you shape what comes next. From citizen panels to direct dialogue with EU leaders, your voice counts!
So my message is simple: take ownership! Use the tools. Explore the opportunities. Share your knowledge with friends and family. Become an ambassador for Europe in your community.”
Because what makes Europe special is exactly this: OUR TOGETHERNESS. ÎMPREUNĂ!
