Understanding your fears and expectations – Friday, 13 May at 16:00
What are your reflections on what governments and institutions should do to protect you? Where are they falling short? What are your fears? In the Ukraine crisis do you understand why what seems like inaction from the West is taking place? How have climate measures addressed your concerns and living conditions? And most importantly, what can be done to make feel you safer locally?
In partnership with University of Zagreb, the European Young Leaders programme led by Friends of Europe is inviting citizens to meet and discuss their views with inspiring young leaders across many sectors on Friday, 13 May from 16:30 to 18:00 at the University of Zagreb (Faculty of Geodesy, Fra Andrije Kačića Miošića 26, HR-10105 Zagreb, Croatia). Registration with welcome drinks starts at 16:00.
Much has been said about the importance of multilateral institutions, like NATO and the UN, and there’s been a lot of talk about European security. The current crisis reveals that existing policy measures – despite the best intentions – have not deterred authoritarian regimes to attack democracy, holding Europe and the world to ransom. Likewise, leaders have gathered in councils to convene and agree on necessary measures to tackle the climate emergency, often leaving citizens out of the conversation.
Because citizens are the first to feel the shock of geopolitics and to deal with the realities of climate change and climate mitigating policies, this session aims to hear from them and from you.
We want to create a frank, honest and open opportunity for you to have your say, to be listened to and exchange views with some of Europe’s leading young talent.
