Hello,
On behalf of the Party of European Socialists Group in the European Committee of the Regions, we would like to thank you for your journey with us and being for being part of this cohort. It has been very interesting and inspiring for us to work together with you and to be inspired by the hard work you carry out every day in cities and regions.
The Young Elected Politicians Programme 2025 is over, but the amazing opportunities ahead remain.
Join the European Network of Regional and Local EU Councillors
Apply to be part of the network managed by the European Committee of the Regions. More than one million elected politicians in the regions and cities of the European Union are already part of it. Take this opportunity to stay updated with European laws, funding programmes and debates.
Would you like to connect among progressives from all over Europe, and to build together new ideas for a more social and sustainable future? 🌍
📢 Join now our network of young progressive local and regional leaders!
More than 400 young leaders from all over Europe are already part of it.
School for young progressive local and regional leaders
As you know, once a year, we organise a “School for young progressive local and regional leaders”. The last edition took place in 2026 in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain, and a new one is scheduled in 2026.
Stay tuned for the new application!
Events, twinnings and more
We are also organising events to bring together our members and other progressive local and regional leaders from across the EU, to which we invite young leaders like you as speakers and participants to contribute with their ideas and share their experiences. You can find all the past events via this link and new ones will be published soon.
Would you like to host a progressive local debate in your town, city or region about a European topic and involve our Group and network? Or are you looking for a twinning exchange with young progressive leaders from another city or region in Europe? Don't hesitate to get in touch with us!
Social media and newsletter
We launched various channels to ensure closer contact with, and among, young progressive local and regional leaders.
We also have a monthly newsletter that you will start receiving this month. In case you are not interested in receiving it, you can always click to unsubscribe.
Share with us your #ProgressiveLocalStories!
There are many inspiring stories on how progressive cities and regions work every day to build a sustainable Europe so that ending poverty, taking climate action and building sustainable communities become a reality. This is why we launched a platform to share these #ProgressiveLocalStories, to foster the exchange of best practices and create dialogue. You can discover them via this link.
Do you have a great 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 pes-group@cor.europa.eu.
Together, let's make Europe more progressive, starting form our cities and regions!
