ELP Graduation Fall 2020 Cohort

online event on 22 February 2021

The European Leadership Programme is an initiative of the Jesuit European Social Centre. It aspires to contribute to the reform of the spiritual, social and political life in Europe, reorienting it towards a quest for the common good, in line with the long Jesuit tradition in forming leaders to change the world. In the current cohort, fourteen fellows have started their formation in one of the three ELP houses in October 2020

UCSIA supports the programme in co-organizing the academic paper presentation session of the fellows before a jury and the graduation ceremony. The upcoming, fourth graduation ceremony will take place on the 22nd of February 2021 from 6.00 to 7.30 pm.

The keynote speaker is Klaus Welle, Secretary General of the European Parliament, following in the footsteps of previous keynotes, Shéhérazade Semsar-de Boisséson, CEO of Politico Europe; baron Frans van Daele, former ambassador of Belgium and chief of staff of President van Rompuy and Monsignor Alain Paul Lebeaupin, former Apostolic Nuncio to the European Union.
