STATE OF THE UNION
On 13 September, European Commission President Ursula Von Der Leyen held her annual ‘State of the Union’.
Our coordinator Dalilla, together with ‘change-makers’ from other member states, was invited to Strasbourg to attend this speech and to speak to many interesting MEPs and other politicians. She was able to talk about our candidacy, learn from what others are working on, and check whether ‘the art of Conversation’ also falls within the ambitions of the European level.
“It’s the moment to show to the young generation that we can build a continent where you can be who you are, love who you want, and aim as high as you want.
A continent reconciled with nature and leading the way on new technologies. A continent that is united in freedom and peace.”
— Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission
