❝As Europeans, one thing we have […] is a feeling of fatalism, the feeling of things getting out of control, out of hand, of things just happening to us, whether it is globalisation, or climate change, or populism, or even the war, [...] Leadership has to concentrate on overcoming citizens’ helplessness in the face of fast-moving events.❞
This quote from Leszek Konrad Jażdżewski, Editor-in-Chief of Liberté! and 2022 EYL40 from Poland, reminds us of the importance of leadership in the face of the many problems currently facing European citizens.
❓ Are you, or is someone you know, a leader ready to help Europe face these fast-moving challenges? Then this post is for you.
🌟 Beginning in 2012, the EYL40 European Young Leaders programme, led by Friends of Europe, is a unique, inventive and multi-stakeholder programme that aims to promote an European identity by engaging the continent’s most promising talents in initiatives that will shape Europe’s future.
