In this session, we dived into the European Elections in both the EU and the Balkans, with a spotlight on the rise of radical movements in Europe. The speakers highlighted the crucial role of young people in political decision-making and EU integration processes and gave the young leaders a food for thought on how the youth initiatives can drive positive changes in the region. At the end of the real talk session, the participants challenged the speakers by sharing their points of view, comments and questions regarding the topics discussed.
