“I am praying that we can extend the spirit of dialogue we experienced in Brussels to the whole world.” With these words, Luca, from Romania, speaks of that “something special, something great” which touched the hearts of those who took part in the Together for Europe events in Brussels from 11 to 13 May 2026.

We are compiling and making available various materials from the eventful days in Brussels, of which the morning at the European Parliament was just a part.

The day before, there was a packed afternoon programme of workshops, concluding with an ecumenical service at the Chapel of Europe, outside which the words “Europe has a Soul” are proclaimed.

The service was coordinated by the local Together for Europe group and opened with the song “We Choose Peace”. These were days in which peace was actively chosen and built.

As people were saying their goodbyes, some were repeating the phrase, “The Europe of tomorrow has already started to take shape. And it has the face of these young people.”

We will soon revisit this topic and publish additional contributions delivered during the meeting at the European Parliament.

From 11 to 13 May 2026, the European Parliament in Brussels came alive thanks to 100 young people from Together for Europe, who had come to meet MEPs and public figures. At a time marked by crisis and division, the initiative sent out a powerful message of hope: to build a Europe capable of peace, unity and solidarity among different peoples, cultures and generations. The highlight was the presentation of an Intergenerational Pact, through which young people and adults jointly committed themselves to restoring the spirit and future of the European project.
