THANK YOU 🥰 So excited to be elected as the President of the @Youth_Forum 2021-2022.

In these unprecedented times, I look forward to working towards implementing our strategic priorities, safeguarding our democracies and planet, and striving toward a more collaborative platform

@vdupouey I once received an umbrella from the Norwegian umbrella organisation for youth orgs ☂️ And I've gotta say - it's probably the best umbrella I've ever had! @lnu knows what they're doing 👌

@voicu_rares @Youth_Forum @ACoY_CoE Policy discussions without members?

GAs truly did change fast 😂

[Silja Markkula @SiljaMarkkula]

@vdupouey I'll just wait to encounter it in @POLITICOEurope some day soon 😁

[Silja Markkula @SiljaMarkkula]

Just wondering @vdupouey, as your mapping is circulating the Brussels bubble and clearly responding to a high demand for it - Have you considered circulating the other super secret project you are working on, the one with honest, 'real' vision statements of NGOs? 😁

[Valentin Dupouey 👨‍🎓🇪🇺 @vdupouey]

Massive sigh of relief as I finally decided to make public a little personal project on which I've been sporadically working for more than a year:

💫A massive mapping of EU-wide European NGOs💫

Feel free to use in any shape or form.

Tsemppiä vaalityön loppusuoralle kaikille demokratian sankareille!

Epätsempit demokratian vastaisille liikkeille, te saatte mennä kotiin jo.

Näin taas jonkun myyvän FB-ryhmässä lyhytterapiaa ilman pätevää koulutusta. Se on täysin laillista. Suomessa kuka tahansa saa väittää olevansa lyhytterapeutti, koska lyhytterapeutin pätevyyksiä ei myönnetä, eikä Valvira valvo sitä.

Seuraavan eduskunnan on korjattava se.

Mittarin lanseerauksen yhteydessä HS perusteli naisten alhaista osuutta yhteiskunnan rakenteilla. Esim. sillä, että “nykyisen hallituksen keskeiset ministerit ovat miehiä”. Tilanne ei ole kuitenkaan korjaantunut, vaikka hallituksen keskeiset ministerit ovat nyt naisia. (4/7)

Does it count if I just retweet this?

[Valentin Dupouey 👨‍🎓🇪🇺 @vdupouey]

You’re not a true European Bruxellois if you don’t tweet and rejoice at every drop of snow you see.

So, there!

[Silja Markkula @SiljaMarkkula]

@AMurtojarvi Markkula - Let me know when to proceed!

Have you ever noticed that the save icon is a floppy disk, even though they became obsolete twenty years ago?

That's called a "skeuomorph" - when something new takes on the appearance of what it replaced.

And once you start to look, they're everywhere...
