ALDE – Page 2 – Young Democrats for Europe

ALDE Summer Academy | 1&2 July

This 2015 edition of ALDE Group’s Summer Academy aims at explaining what the parliamentarian group represents and discussing solutions to get our continent growing and youth working. It will be an occasion to understand how the ALDE Group’s galaxy works for us: the parliamentarian group, its two European political parties (EDP and ALDE party), their political foundations (IED and ELF), their youth organisations, as well as the group at the Committee of the Regions.

We want to be given the tools to understand and confront the problem that most affect our generation: unemployment. For that youths will approach issues such as brain drain, mobility, free trade, entrepreneurship and apprenticeship. During these two days of intensive work, young Liberals and Democrats will gather in Brussels to work and network for a Europe that works for young people!

Democrat speakers will attend this event, amongst them: Marian Harkin, Jean Arthuis, Jean Marie Beaupuy, François Lafond.

The 1st Summer Academy was organised in 2007. This event brings together more than 100 liberal and democrat youths from all over Europe as well as from Macedonia, Russia, Ukraine, San Marino and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Academy provides a unique opportunity for the young people to come together, to listen to and discuss with Members of the European Parliament, representatives from EU Institutions and experts in the area related to the topic of the Academy.

ALDE Summer School

Members of Young Democrats for Europe (YDE) have participated in the last Summer School organized by ALDE Group in collaboration with YDE and LYMEC last June 5^th to 7^th in Brussels.

A key topic was discussed there with several professionals of both political organizations, politicians and young participants, “One year ahead of the European Elections: the Voice of the Youth”. We are all focussing on the significance of the next European Elections of May 2014 and the vital need of participance of the European Youth to build the next European Parliament and so, the future of the desired Europe.

Citizens must be protagonists of the European Project.

From YDE we are worried because the youth has forgotten what Europe meant, what Europe gave to us. We got used to it. Have we achieved all we wanted? Let’s stop only criticising and let’s be the movement working into building our dreamed Europe.

YDE wants to remark the importance of Europe, it gave us freedom to move, to study, to travel, to work, to think globally from our local diversities. Our approach towards the oncoming elections must be maintaining what we have achieved and draw the path that will lead us to higher wellness standards in a global, diverse and unified Europe.

Build a renewed Europe with us!
