The Robert Schuman Institute and the Eduardo Frei Foundation have a longstanding reputation on educating the new wave of political elite in the south eastern and eastern european countries. Our cooperation project “Young Leaders” has a tradition dating back to the 1990’s. We investigate into in young politicians committed to democracy and value based politics with a centre-right approach – as represented by the European People’s Party family.

A leader and a statesman must have broad horizons Our aim is to provide theoretical and practical knowledge on political, social, economic and security challenges and current developments in Europe.

We particularly reflect on the practical implementation of shared EPP values in concrete policies and decision making. During 7 months of the project our graduates are also equipped with personal skills of leadership and public speaking as well as solid international network.
