Young European Leadership (YEL)
History
Young European Leadership was founded in 2013 with the main goal of recruiting the delegates of the European Union for future Y8 and Y20 Summits. The association was legally established in Brussels as an international non-profit organization in February 2013. The Co-Founders were Tillmann Heidelk (President), Flóra Rétvalvi (Vice President), Diana Carter (Secretary General), Jeroen Stevens (Treasurer), and Radoslav Šoth as a co-founding non-board member. [2] The organization has since expanded its scope to handle several more conferences and events on a yearly basis.
Current Activities
Young European Leadership aims to empower youth by providing them with high-level leadership development opportunities and to connect young people with decision-makers in the European Union and abroad. The organization trains young Europeans in leadership skills including public speaking and negotiation skills, and organizes a number of delegations and events to achieve this aim.
