I strongly believe that Europe’s strength, unity and competitiveness are in the hands of the younger generation. Like no one else before, we are uniquely positioned to organise ourselves and cooperate on forecasting risks and resolving challenges that impact Europe’s prosperity, sovereignty and well-being. As an immigrant, I am uniquely positioned to appreciate the advantages Europe offers, and I am ready to contribute to their preservation. From the Programme, I expect to get hands-on guidance from established area experts and connect with fellow aspiring professionals who care about the future of Europe.
