November 4, 2023 – World Youth Alliance Europe hosted the Emerging Leaders Conference 2023 (ELC) with a strong delegation. In collaboration with the Southeast Europe office, the event was carried out in Zagreb, Croatia, under the theme European Consensus on Humanitarian Aid

For the first session, a panel discussion was conducted by Aleksandra Markić Boban, Head of the Zagreb Office of the Hanns Seidel Foundation, and Hrvoje Debač, Head of Division for Development Policy and Humanitarian Aid in the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, with Ramón Barba Castro, Regional Director of Public Policy at WYA Europe, as the session moderator. 

The conference continued with the presentation by Croatian Parliament member and associate professor of political philosophy at the Catholic University of Croatia in Zagreb, Stephen Nikola Bartulica. Mr. Bartulica addressed topics such as immigration, culture, population control, sustainable development, and ideological colonization from a perspective that places the human being at the center and as the solution.

To conclude the event and recap the entire day, Ramón Barba Castro synthesized the discussions, comparing and sharing the perspective of WYA along with its programs and projects.

The conference attracted more than 35 young people representing 13 countries and numerous institutions. Most delegates envision their engagement in opening chapters in their countries. 

WYA Europe is grateful for its exciting partnerships and networks that continue to aid the planning and execution of the ELC and looks forward to the next Europe Emerging Leaders Conference in 2024.
