Join the European Young Leaders (EYL40) and be at the forefront of the conversations shaping the future of Europe
This one-hour exclusive session following Friends of Europe’s State of Europe high-level roundtable* offers a unique opportunity to engage in in-depth discussions on what we may expect from a Renewed Social Contract in Europe by 2030.
- Should we rethink the roles and responsibilities of the private, public, and civil society sectors in our European societies?
- How do we as individuals and societies navigate the crises of war, climate, and cost-of-living impacting our continent?
- What is the role of citizens in a 21st century Europe?
In the face of the multitude of crises plaguing Europe, should we rethink the systems we operate in – and is the notion of a Renewed Social Contract, brought forward by Friends of Europe in 2019, a viable avenue for collective changemaking?
"The COVID-19 pandemic has brought home the tragic disconnect between self-interest and the common interest, and the huge gaps in governance structures and ethical frameworks. To close those gaps, and to make the New Social Contract possible, we need to ensure that power, wealth, and opportunities are shared more broadly and fairly and is based on equal rights and opportunities for all.” - António Guterres, United Nations Secretary General (2020)
This is your chance to be at the forefront of conversations shaping the future of Europe.
*Organised by Friends of Europe, a leading Brussels-based think tank, State of Europe is a unique forum for today’s top leaders from the worlds of politics, business and civil society, from Europe and beyond, to connect, debate and develop ideas on key policy areas that will define Europe’s future. Recommendations sourced from the interactive and fast-paced brainstorms shape and influence EU policy thinking and inform Friends of Europe’s journey towards a Renewed Social Contract for Europe.
