“Allez l’Europe! // Vorwärts Europa!”
A French-German Initiative
for the future of Europe
“Allez l’Europe! // Vorwärts Europa!” is an open discussion of young committed Europeans who wish to contribute to the debate about the future of Europe. Participants from France and Germany will develop proposals in participative workshops on crucial topics such as European defence, digital economy, democratic participation and euroscepticism.
Experts and actors of the field will be there to provide informed insights and frame the discussion.
