Young European Leadership (YEL) is a non-profit, non-partisan organization that aims to empower young people in Europe to shape the future of the continent through dialogue, collaboration, and leadership development. We organize events, conferences, seminars, trainings, and initiatives to provide young Europeans with opportunities to discuss and address important issues facing Europe, such as politics, economics, social issues, and sustainability. We focus on fostering cross-cultural understanding, promoting civic engagement, and encouraging youth participation in decision-making processes at the local, national, and European levels.
