💬 What does the Europe young people want look like?

A Europe where education creates opportunities, housing is affordable, mental health is protected, digital skills are developed, the environment is respected, and everyone has the chance to build their future.

🌍 This vision was at the heart of the dialogue between Ursula von der Leyen and members of the President’s Youth Advisory Board, which was also attended by representatives from the Republic of Moldova, who gathered in Brussels on 22 July. The discussions highlighted the importance of directly involving the younger generation in shaping European policies for the future.

🤝 European policies are stronger when they are built together with young people.

✂️ “It is important to have training and education because it gives us the opportunity to earn money ourselves,” says Lilia Cinu, a participant in the sewing course.

👩‍🎓 Lilia is one of the 16 young women from Rîșcani district who are taking sewing courses, where they are gaining professional skills that can open new opportunities for employment and financial independence.

📚 The vocational training courses are organised with the support of the National Employment Agency (ANOFM). A total of 58 young Roma people have enrolled in these programmes.

🤝 Their participation in training programmes was facilitated through community mediators within the #EU4Youth programme, who reached out directly to communities and informed more than 400 young Roma about opportunities for skills development and integration into the labour market.
