We are excited to bring you guys a new event! Organised mainly by, and in partnership with ESN Hungary, we are excited to present; “Speak Out” - National Policy Dialogue. This will be a great chance to get to know more about how young people can shape public policy!

The event will take place at Corvinus University of Budapest. Registration opens at 09:30, and the program begins at 10:00. (The exact campus and room will be shared with registered participants.)

The event brings together young changemakers, policymakers and experts to discuss the future of youth civic participation in Hungary and Europe.
The programme will include:
• Panel discussions with policymakers and institutional representatives
• Interactive policy workshops
• A European Parliament simulation
• Thematic discussions on youth civic participation and policy impact

Confirmed speakers and institutional participants include representatives from:

Lunch will be provided free of charge at the venue, and the day will conclude with a formal dinner at a separate location together with invited guests.

📌Make sure to register if you have the time, the registration link can be found in our bio! 💚

🇭🇺 Hungary’s political landscape could be changing.

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who has led Hungary since 2010, faces a new political challenger , Péter Magyar ,ahead of the 2026 parliamentary elections.

Recent polls show growing support for Magyar’s movement, while government-aligned institutes report continued support for Orbán’s party. The upcoming election may play an important role in shaping Hungary’s political direction and its relationship with the European Union.

📅 Parliamentary elections: 12 April 2026

🇭🇺 One of the most exciting elections in Europe this year is happening in Hungary. As a Hungary-based youth NGO, we felt responsible for introducing you to the key topics surrounding this event.

Whether you’re Hungarian or simply interested in European politics, this is a great opportunity to explore how the Hungarian election works, what’s at stake, and why it matters, not just nationally, but at the European level too 🇪🇺

Over the next weeks, we’ll break down everything you need to know, so stay curious and check out our websites 💚💚

Between the 26th and 30th of November our project, co-organized with @jef_berlin_brandenburg and @jeuneseuropeens_paris took place in the cities of Budapest and Pécs. 🇩🇪 🇫🇷 🇭🇺

It was an honor to welcome around 20 participants from both Germany and France. The main aim of this project was to show the participants how Hungarian politics and civil society works, and to strenghten the ties between our networks. 🤝

We had the chance to meet and talk to representatives of the European Commission and Parliament Liaison Office in Budapest, as well as to get to know the Robert Schuman Institute and the Magyar Természetvédők Szövetsége / Friends of the Earth Hungary Association. 💚

During our daytrip to Pécs, we played a scavenger hunt, and had a panel discussion co-organized with and hosted by @head.pte , to whom we are grateful for the amazing opportunity and cooperation. 🙌

Looking forward to more joint projects and co-organized event with JEF Berlin, Paris and HEAD PTE. 😄

For our last monthly meeting of 2025, we’re doing something special! 💚

This Thursday at 18:30, we will be viewing a documentary on European migration policy, focusing on border management, EU–third country cooperation, and the political tensions behind a “Fortress Europe.”

Right after the viewing, we’ll launch into an open, informal debate, where everyone can share their takeaways, perspectives, and reflect on the documentary’s claims.

Join us for an engaging session at CEU, Nador 15 building! ✨💬💚
