The EU will mark 2 important anniversaries in 2025: 80 years since the end of the Second World War and 75 years since the Schumann Declaration. In addition to being an occasion for taking stock, they are also an opportunity to give a new impetus to the European process. The European institutions and the governments of the Member States must seize this moment and propose a qualitative change to the current social and economic model, which leads to inequality and environmental destruction and leaves us unprepared when crises strike. In these turbulent times, European leaders must give hope, show commitment to European principles and values, reaffirm that the EU is the only way to give power and democratic decision-making to European citizens and the right response to the rising nationalism and Euroscepticism. The future of Europe involves both the politicians and the young people who are targeted by the policies and are the real participants in the socio-economic life now and in the years to come. The European elections clearly showed that European political parties did not give young politicians under 35 a chance to be elected. Overall, young people make up 25% of the European population, but they occupy only 10% of the seats in the EP. The lack of young MEPs in the EP is a significant and unacceptable gap, especially given the numerous crises that disproportionately affect the younger generations. From economic instability and the rise of precarious employment to the housing crisis, young people face unique challenges that require special representation and solutions. Political groups in the EP must ensure that they act as true representatives of young people and address the challenges they face. The international seminar "Time for a Renewal of the European project", which will be held in Sofia from 27.04 to 4.05.25, will bring together youth leaders who are committed to working together for a shared vision of the future of Europe, which is based on social justice , a sustainable, democratic and inclusive society. 45 participants will gain practical knowledge and skills to promote democratic values and communicate the benefits of the EU to young citizens, build capacity for full participation in the democratic life of the EU and shape a vision for achieving a more sovereign and democratic Europe. The event will offer a place for learning and networking among different youth organizations from local to European level. The ideas and knowledge generated during the seminar can be used by every participant and implemented at local level. Objectives: Increasing the competence of the participants (knowledge, skills, views, values) for work in the field of European communication, promotion of European values and conducting information campaigns for developing and communicating youth policies with decision-makers and forming a European public space. Development and implementation of a mechanism for creating proposals for the reform of European institutions to make them more representative, democratic and accountable to citizens - how and what young people need to make their voices heard.
