Young Leaders for Democracy in the Digital Age

In collaboration with our partners, Young Professionals in Digital Policy (YPDP) and European Liberal Youth (LYMEC), we are excited to invite you to our upcoming event, "Young Leaders for Democracy in the Digital Age" which will take place on October 1, 2024, at the Microsoft Centre Brussels (Rue Montoyer 51).

This event aims to gather youth-oriented voices from the European Parliament and the Brussels community to reflect on how the intersection of democracy, resilience, and technology will be balanced in the next mandate of the EU institutions.

We hope to foster a dialogue on the critical issues that will shape Europe's future over the next five years.
