New project to re-engage young people on why Europe matters

Europe would only overcome the current political crisis if the next generation of Europeans cared about the EU and was ready to engage to further advance the European project.

A new initiative labelled ‘Why Europe Matters’ was launched on 24 March 2017 to re-engage Europe’s youth in a multinational debate with politicians and business leaders

The European Round Table of Industrialists (ERT) and JA Europe would survey more than 10,000 youngsters about their hopes and concerns. The cross-border project – launched to mark the 60th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome – aimed to increase enthusiasm and interest in forging a stronger Europe
