Event
– 27 May at 18:30 (CEST) –
The aim of this event is twofold. First, we would like to highlight the impact of visionary women in the construction of the European Union such as
Simone Veil, Ursula Hirschmann and Louise Weiss and commemorate their achievements. Secondly, we would like to underline the underrepresentation
of women in the federalist movement still today and call on our common responsibility to strengthen female ownership in the European federalist movement.
