The European concept of peace and solidarity is an old one, but it is even more relevant and necessary today than ever before. Today, at a time of global uncertainty and instability, working together, having conversations, learning from one another and upholding a level of mutual understanding that transcends borders, languages and political views are all prerequisites for a confident and strong continent which is forced to reposition itself between the East and West.
The youth of Europe will play a pivotal role on this journey to a secure, peaceful and stable future.
The European Youth Forum Neumarkt would like to accompany and support all young Europeans in Neumarkt, the region and Austria, but also the neighbouring states and Europe as a whole and invite them to engage in discussions about Europe, exchange their views and make use of the programmes and events at the EYFON initiative in Forchtenstein Castle.
I look forward to seeing you in Neumarkt,
For EYFON, president Dr. Christoph Leitl
