Because young people are the pillars of the world of tomorrow, the European Union supports their involvement wherever society needs their inspiration and their courage to shape a greener and more equitable world and to protect our planet. Thanks to the Young Leaders program, the European Commission gives them a voice. We are indeed convinced that their contribution is invaluable in order to succeed in our global development efforts.
