Solidarity, resilience and the way forward

The covid-19 pandemic has thrown a spotlight on the shortcomings of many world leaders. In contrast, civil society and the general public have provided inspirational and effective responses to the crisis.

Finding ways to convert the energy behind those powerful citizens’ initiatives into lasting contributions to solidarity and societal resilience was the goal of an online brainstorm in Friends of Europe’s European Young Leaders (EYL) programme bringing together some of the brightest young minds from around Europe and beyond.
