Belonging Beyond Borders: Giulia Acha on Identity, Europe, and the Power of Symbols
Description
In this special episode of YEPs on the Ground, we welcome Giulia Acha, a Young Elected Politician from France, representing the Renew Europe group in the European Committee of the Regions. With roots in Italy, Spain, and Serbia, Giulia offers a heartfelt perspective on what it means to grow up European - when your identity crosses borders.
We explore the personal and political power of the European flag, the emotional weight it carries in times of social tension, and what it means to serve as a voice for youth in an increasingly polarized world. Giulia also speaks candidly about navigating multicultural identity, resisting the pressure to "choose one homeland," and the need for the EU to foster inclusive spaces that go beyond labels.
This conversation dives deep into themes of belonging, coexistence, and how the next generation of leaders can reshape the European project through empathy, equity, and authenticity.
Tune in for a powerful reflection on identity, representation, and hope.
