Our students Nicola Russo, Ahmed Moujoud and Riccardo Formisano have attended it: they had been selected by the European University Community to represent the Alliance Transform4Europe.
They have provided their contribution, together with many other students from all over Europe, to make suggestions about the future of Europe.
The inaugural session of the European Student Assembly has just ended in Strasbourg. The works took place in the European Parliament and in the hall of the Université de Strasbourg where the Council of Europe was born.
This is how they tell us about their experience:
Nicola: “I am convinced that this was the first stone of a stronger community between young people in Europe, a community that will give to the students a legitimate say on European polices in the future. I am proud to have been part of it”.
Ahmed: “Young people, as the future citizens of this society, must be part of the policy-making process in our countries. This event was a unique opportunity to make us part of that. I hope that in the future we can promote more activities of this kind that involve and encourage young people to be part of the construction of our future Europe.”
Riccardo: “Inaugurating this ambitious initiative and contributing to the future of Europe in the very same room where the construction of a Europe of peace and unity began was exciting. The opportunity to exchange ideas face to face with nearly 300 students from across the continent has reenergized our consciousness as European citizens and our passion for the European project.”
