In September, the President of the European Commission, Ursula Von der Leyen,  announced the Year of Youth 2022. In her speech, she talked about the "ALMA" program, to allow young people to acquire skills, create links and forge their own "European identity". In addition, the President insisted that the European Green Pact and the Next Generation EU Recovery Plan should be seen as “protecting the future” of young people.

This was all welcomed by EP’s Culture and Education committee chairwoman, Sabine Verheyen.

Our hosts discussed the project as a whole, as well as giving their insight with regards to what we think its impact would be on the young generations.
