We consider families to be the cornerstone of society and are committed to ensuring that EU policies are as family-friendly as possible. Our objective is to support Member States in implementing effective policies that encourage and enable Europeans to have larger families, fostering a sustainable demographic future for the Union. Through collaboration and the sharing of best practices, we aim to create an environment where family life is valued, supported, and nurtured across Europe.
We recognise the critical need for education and training systems across our regions to better align with the evolving demands of the future labour market. Our vision is to cultivate a culture of innovation, ensuring that Europe becomes a global leader in breakthrough technologies. By equipping young Europeans with the skills needed for emerging industries, we will reduce youth unemployment and attract the brightest minds to remain in our communities and contribute to Europe’s prosperity.
The right to remain must be a central priority in addressing Europe’s demographic challenges, as reversing negative population trends is vital for securing the continent's future stability and prosperity.
The ongoing demographic crisis, including low birth rates, aging populations, and workforce shortages, threatens the sustainability of social systems, economic growth, and cultural continuity.
We advocate for policies that empower individuals and families to remain in their communities, ensuring they have access to quality education, efficient healthcare, and stable employment. This includes fostering strong digital and transport connectivity, which can bridge gaps between urban and rural areas, making it easier for people to remain in their home regions.
By inspiring a new wave of demographic vitality supported by intergenerational solidarity, we are committed to ensuring that all citizens across the EU have the right to remain.
Our continent's cultural diversity is a unique and valuable resource. As globalisation and technological advancements reshape our societies, it becomes increasingly important to preserve our historic heritage.
By empowering regions to take a leading role in promoting Europe’s cultural essence, we aim to ensure a deeper appreciation and respect for the diverse traditions that define us.
