Jewish Advocacy at the European Institutions
March 17–21, 2024 – Brussels, Belgium & Strasbourg, France
Join us for a unique opportunity to explore European politics and institutions based in Brussels (Belgium) and Strasbourg (France) from a 360-degree perspective. Get ready for a journey in the heart of EU institutions and – for the first time in EUJS history – the Council of Europe! Do not miss the opportunity to hear from world-renowned experts, discuss critical issues with key decision-makers in the EU, and delve into the realm of activism alongside peers from across Europe.
What is it about?
The EU Activism Seminar provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bring young Jewish voices to the decision-making table for real impact. During the seminar, we will be exploring current-day issues and challenges that interest and affect Jewish students from around Europe, including the EU elections, the broader societal challenges of democratic backsliding, the fight against antisemitism, anti-Zionism, and much more.

We will ensure a gender and geographical balance among participants, between 18 and 30 years old. Applicants are expected to actively engage in the entire programme. Attendance is mandatory, and no absences will be tolerated.
