From March 16–20, 2025, the European Union of Jewish Students (EUJS) hosted its annual EU Activism Seminar in Brussels and Strasbourg. Bringing together 25 young Jewish leaders from 15 countries, the seminar offered participants hands-on experience in advocacy and community-building. Selected through a competitive process, the diverse group engaged with major Jewish organizations, Members of the European Parliament, EU policymakers, and Council of Europe representatives.

The seminar aimed to amplify young Jewish voices in European decision-making spaces and equip participants with knowledge of EU institutions, as well as advocacy skills to combat antisemitism and promote EU values. It served as a unique platform blending political education with Jewish advocacy, empowering future leaders to make a meaningful impact in their communities.
