Together for Europe at the European Parliament

by | May 11, 2026

On Wednesday, May 13 from 10:00 to 13:00, the European Parliament will host 'Reviving Europe: A Soul for Reconciliation', a landmark event bringing together more than 100 young ambassadors connected to the Together for Europe network with members of the European Parliament (including Miriam Lexmann MEP and Leoluca Orlando MEP).

The young people’s aim

The young people aim to inspire European leaders to draft laws and policies that prioritise human connection, social cohesion and lasting peace. At its core, the initiative seeks to provide a “soul” to political discourse, ensuring that the legislative future of Europe is rooted in values that unite rather than divide.

The foundational values – pratical tools

In a global climate increasingly defined by conflict and instability, the organisers believe the timing is critical. They argue that for Europe to navigate modern crises, it must reclaim its Christian roots —specifically the foundational values of forgiveness and cooperation. For the younger generation, these are not just abstract concepts but practical tools essential for fostering harmony between diverse groups in an uncertain world.

The programme and the Intergenerational Pact

The programme will include an exchange of experiences, dialogue on the theme of international order and input on some of today’s crucial issues of today. An Intergenerational Pact (click here>>), will be presented, calling for a commitment to collaboration across age groups. Representatives from various political parties will be among those who engage in discussions focussed on the vision of European unity.

For those who wish to follow the event online, details are below (do remember the time zone differences. In Brussels, the live streaming will be from 10.00 to 13.00).
