Dear young local leaders,

Congratulations! You are part of this year’s Young Elected Politicians Programme! \ud83d\udc4f

By joining the programme, you will have the opportunity to bring your voice to the European level, contribute to EU policy discussions, and benefit from tailored policy trainings and networking opportunities throughout the year.

\ud83e\udd42 Join us for your Kick-Off Session with the PES Group

You are invited to an online welcome session on Tuesday 23 June from 17h00 to 17h30 CET (Brussels' time).

This will be an opportunity to get to know each other, meet our leadership, the PES Group team and former Young Elected Politicians, who will share their experience of the programme and talk about the opportunities the year ahead will offer.

We will also present the practical and financial aspects of the programme, including reimbursement procedures for events.

\u2764\ufe0f Share with us your Progressive Local Stories!

There are many inspiring stories on how progressive cities and regions work every day to build a more sustainable and social Europe. This is why we launched a call to share these #ProgressiveLocalStories, to foster the exchange of best practices and create dialogue. Find out about them and take a look at the current campaigns that we are running.

Do you have an inspiring story to tell and want to share it? We are looking forward to learning more about it!  This is your chance to put your town, city or region in the spotlight. Get in touch with us at isabella.galimi@cor.europa.eu

If you have further questions or suggestions, don't hesitate to contact us or to raise them during our online meeting!

Together, let's make Europe more progressive, starting form our cities and regions!

Looking forward to meeting you,

The PES Group Secretariat
