Young Professionals Seminars
24 posts
United Europe’s most important goal is to win the younger generation over to our idea of a united, competitive and diverse Europe. This is why we consider the Young Professionals Seminars (YPS) to be our flagship project. Two or three times a year, we invite 20 to 25 outstanding young Europeans to a weekend seminar to discuss European topics of particular relevance to the next generation. On the page of the Young European Voices United Europe also publishes opinions and views of participants of our YPS.
Please find below an overview about and the summaries of our past seminars.
