Rethinking the EU: The young Europeans reshaping a continent

TALKING EUROPE © FRANCE 24

Over the past eight months, the Conference on the Future of Europe has aimed to give a voice to 800 citizens from the 27 EU member states. The goal of this unprecedented endeavour was to see concrete progress on the climate, employment, health and even diplomacy. A third of the participants were under 25 years old. Throughout the event in Strasbourg, FRANCE 24 closely followed four of the young panellists: an Italian anthropology student, a French high school student, a Slovakian doctoral student and a young Swedish woman concerned about the environment. What are their expectations in terms of migration, the environment, health or the climate? Why did they get involved? Our reporters have been finding out.

A report by Xavier Chemisseur and Céline Schmitt.
