On the 28th of October, JEF Malta will be launching their ’Generation Europe’ campaign giving students the opportunity to discuss a common European future. The opening ceremony, entitled ’Towards a European Army? – A Common European Security and Defence Policy’, will be held at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Apart from serving as an introduction to the campaign, this launch will be attended by several notable dignitaries and politicians; such as the Hon Minister Carmelo Abela, Hon Minister Michael Farrugia and Former Prime Minister Dr Lawrence Gonzi. The format of the campaign will take the form of several day seminars throughout the year.
The first part of each seminar will consist of an interactive, hands-on workshop that will give information and allow for brainstorming for solutions, whilst focusing on soft skills such as critical thinking and debating. This will be then followed by a debate made up of a panel of experts and policy-makers, where participants will be able to apply the knowledge acquired earlier in the seminar and actively participate in the debate.
Vice-President of JEF Malta, Christian Aquilina explains that; “I urge students to attend the launch of our campaign, ’Generation Europe’, as the topic will surely give rise to a fruitful discussion. Moreover, short breaks and a free lunch will also be provided for the attendees. I highly recommend attendance as it is a contemporary topic that needs to be dealt with, especially due to current affairs all around Europe. Make sure you RSVP for this year’s launch as places are limited.”
