CALL FOR APPLICATION

“YOUNG LEADERS XXXI” 2024/2025

About The Seminar​

We’re thrilled to open applications for the “Young Leaders XXXI” seminar series, the flagship program of the Robert Schuman Institute (RSI), powered by the Eduardo Frei Foundation and Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung! This transformative series is designed for young, forward-thinking politicians committed to Christian Democratic or center-right values and pluralist democracy, as embodied by the European People’s Party (EPP).

Through a dynamic blend of hands-on training, team-building exercises, and leadership development, participants will explore vital topics like European democratic principles, economic policies, and international relations. By joining, you’ll connect with a network of future leaders and actively contribute to shaping the political landscape.

Held across three immersive modules in the vibrant cities of Budapest and Vienna, this is an opportunity not just to learn, but to lead and inspire change. For a sneak peek into past success stories, check out our previous “Young Leaders” series highlights!

Who Can Participate?

We are looking for 20 dynamic, career-driven young politicians between the ages of 22 and 32 who are actively involved in the activities of Christian Democratic or center-right parties in Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, as well as Lebanon and Morocco. Applicants must be committed to the values of the European People’s Party (EPP) and eager to play a leadership role in shaping the political future of their countries.
