The European Student Assembly invites young people to debate the future of Europe
A European Student Assembly (#ESA25) is back, inviting young voices to discuss the future of Europe.
From May 26 to 28, 2025, Strasbourg will host this dynamic event, bringing together students from the European Universities Alliances. This fourth edition will welcome a new generation of participants from these alliances.
Participants will debate and develop policy recommendations on eight key topics about Europe’s future. The project will span several months and culminate in a deliberative assembly at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, with dissemination events to follow in the weeks after.
The #ESA25 is an essential platform for students to engage in discussions on critical European issues actively.
It is an opportunity for young representatives of the RUN-EU, of which the Polytechnic University of Leiria is a member, to be at the forefront of dialogue, drafting policy recommendations and advocating for change.
