As EU citizens celebrate Europe Day on May 9th, Talking Europe gives the floor to a panel of young Europeans. We invite the four young leaders of Europe’s main political groups to discuss the future of the EU. While young people are generally more Europhile than their parents, they would like to see Brussels focus more on what matters to them: education and employment.
