Pitch: Europe – Who is the Future?

English 60

In this time of polycrisis, Europe must ask 'Who are we?' and 'Who do we want to be?'. Knowledge and information alone are not enough to improve our actions; we need new practices of collaboration between generations, disciplines, experts and European citizens. Emerging from the “Youth as Key for Democratic Renewal” Lab initiated and funded by ERSTE Foundation, we will hear divergent visions of who will lead tomorrow, assessing how to engage the "Next Generation” in political activity and processes.

Session objective: Imagining new possibilities – Get inspired and foster new ideas by imagining bold solutions to complex challenges and imagine disruptively new ways of thinking.
