They are looking for young Italian and German candidates who would like to take part in the second edition of this dialogue format, which will consist of two online workshops (to be scheduled in September) and a final in-person two-day conference which will take place in Milan from October 14-15, 2022. Participants will have the unique opportunity to discuss relevant issues concerning the future of the EU and relations between the two countries in a stimulating environment, as well as to become the first members of a lasting network of German and Italian young leaders.

Thematic Focus

The EU and its member states face an increasing number of challenges that require close cooperation at the European level, as shown by the Russian aggression against Ukraine and its consequences for Europe and the world.

These challenges include fulfilling and preserving the promise of prosperity to the benefit of all European citizens, securing the global competitiveness of European economies, successfully transforming European economies to adapt to climate change and the digital revolution, and enhancing European security in the context of increasing geopolitical competition. As close partners and founding members of the EU, both Germany and Italy are key to advancing European cooperation to meet them.

In four working groups shops, participants will discuss important aspects of the EU’s internal and external capacity to act from a German and Italian perspective. They will discuss differences in perception in order to reach a better understanding of the respective position and to identify synergies and priorities. Finally, they will develop policy proposals for joint European action.

These four workshops are:

  • European Foreign and Security Policy
  • New European stability and growth pact
  • Technology and Digitization in Europe
  • A European Green Deal and the challenges of the energy transition
