[FR] Académie Notre Europe- Inaugural session: Political and institutional Europe

📢 7 days to go before the inaugural session of the 2025-2026 programme!

🙋 This first day will focus on political and institutional Europe. Understanding the European institutions is an essential first step in becoming an engaged European citizen.

🎯 We will also review the political priorities of the von der Leyen II mandate in the face of major challenges and transformations for the European Union: geopolitical tensions, defence, climate, the rise of AI, growing inequalities, the rise of the far right, and more.

On the agenda:

👏 Welcome remarks by Sofia Fernandes, Director of the Notre Europe Academy, and Sylvie Matelly, Director of the Jacques Delors Institute

🎭 Screening and discussion of the play: ‘Delors entre nos mains – Le flambeau de l’architecte’ (Delors in our hands – The architect’s torch)

🎤 A high-level exchange on the ambitions for tomorrow’s Europe with Clément Beaune, High Commissioner for Strategy and Planning (High Commission for Strategy and Planning), Enrico Letta, President of the Jacques Delors Institute, and Pervenche Berès, former MEP and member of the Board of Directors of the Jean-Jaurès Foundation.

🏛️ Explanations and analyses of how the EU works and the political dynamics at play with Isabelle Coustet, Head of the European Parliament’s Liaison Office in France, and Christine Verger, Vice-President of the Jacques Delors Institute.

See you in 7️⃣ days for the launch of this new promotion live from the Maison de l’Europe in Paris – Europe Direct – a huge thank you for their welcome!
