The discussion is mainly intended for young people who want to understand the world of ideas, but participants of all age categories are welcome. Together, we will look at how the values that stood at the birth of the European Union are changing, and what they mean for today's generation.
The world is changing - and with it the meaning of the terms that shaped Europe's politics for many decades: Christian democracy, conservatism and liberalism. What do they mean today? How do young people understand them? What should conservative politicians do differently to engage millennials and Gen Z more? Which values still have the power to unify today? Which values of Christian democracy are under the most pressure in Brussels today?
