Chiesa barocca, mappa Europa, candele in mani.

On 6 May, in the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren, we took part in the usual Taizé prayer.

The prayer was for Europe, with about 50 people present: it was very solemn and ecumenical, with representatives from different Churches. The intentions were prepared and read by us, at the request by the young organisers. A young friend of our network, who is now a candidate for the national parliament, was also present.

We came from four Movements: Schoenstatt, Sant’Egidio, Chemin Neuf and Focolari.

After the prayer, we gathered for an informal moment around a small refreshment that we had prepared. During the conversation we talked about Together for Europe and some people asked for the link to the event on 15 May in the European Parliament in Brussels. 

This gathering brought great joy in being together; the friendship among us representatives of the Movements grew stronger.

These small signs are like bricks for building Europe together.

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.
