A pleasure to help in the organisation and participation at the visit of Commissioner @GlennMicallef. The new Intergenerational Fairness Strategy will now have our inputs as we helped shape policies across generations.

Let’s continue shaping the future at BRIEF! 🇪🇺

Thank you Commissioner @GlennMicallef for not only visiting us today and sharing your insights with our students on your portfolio, but also for actively engaging them in a participatory workshop to help the EU develop its intergenerational fairness strategy👏

It’s always inspiring to meet and discuss about #SocialEurope with brilliant young minds, such as those studying at the @collegeofeurope.
