Jacques Delors Agora

What is the Jacques Delors Agora and who is it for?

The Agora Jacques Delors is a four-day event co-organized by three partners committed to promoting citizenship and European values: the Notre Europe Academy (Paris), the Academia Europea Leadership (Barcelona) and the Scuola di Politiche (Rome).
It brings together around 100 young minds from across Europe to discuss with European decision-makers and experts the main challenges facing the EU and the priorities for the next five years. The Agora empowers young Europeans through debates and workshops. The 2025 edition took place in Barcelona from July 8 to 11.

The Agora is open to anyone aged 18 to 35 who wishes to contribute to discussions on the future of Europe. It is an event for all citizens, regardless of their background, providing a unique forum for young people to come together, exchange ideas and determine the future of Europe. As the event is held entirely in English, we recommend at least a B2 level (CEFR) in English to ensure successful participation in the event. The geographical diversity of participants is one of the selection criteria, to ensure that as many nationalities as possible are represented.

Who can participate?

For the 2025 edition, 120 young people from around the world were selected, representing 20 different nationalities. The group stood out for its remarkable diversity, in status as well as background. It brought together students, professionals, and individuals currently unemployed. While some were already well-versed in European affairs, others were discovering them for the first time. This diversity of knowledge and experience enriched the discussions, perfectly reflecting the Agora’s ambition: to create a space that fosters dialogue between a wide range of perspectives.
