Young people from across Europe are strongly encouraged to register and participate in the second session of this year’s Catholic Youth Convention focused on “Youth and South-East Europe”.

Organised by the Commission of the Bishops’ Conferences of the European Union (COMECE) and the EU office of Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS), the event will take place online (Zoom) on Wednesday 15 June 2022 from 13:45 to 15:00 (CEST) on the theme “Sharing our dreams on the future of Europe”.

This session will include a dialogue meeting with Olivér Várhelyi, EU Commissioner for Neighbourhood and Enlargement. Young people will have the opportunity to ask questions, share ideas and proposals on how to foster reconciliation in South-East Europe, as well as to identify and boost the role of young people in shaping a positive narrative on the region and stimulating social and political empowerment.
