“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.”
