We invite our community of Fellows, Venture candidates, and Young Changemakers to join this training on Advocacy in the European Union (EU) with Ashoka’s pro-bono partner Arcturus, a consulting firm specialized in institutional strategy and market development. 

The objective of this training is to provide some first insights on how you can bring your ideas to the EU's decision-making processes.

In this two-hour training, Arcturus will provide us with insights into:

• How does the EU's policy & decision-making process work?
   
• What does the new EU look like (after the elections of June 2024); what are future priorities; who is in the leadership; and what is the new political direction?
   
• How can you engage with them to make your voice heard?
   

The training will take place online, via Zoom, on November 26th from 10.00 (CET), and the session will be conducted in English. Registrations are open until November 15th, 2024. After this date, any new registrants will be added to a waiting list.
