Explore Our Workshops
Across the workshop series, we will cover a broad range of topics, from how to write a strong policy brief and craft clear recommendations to wider themes connected to European security, resilience, and policy making. Whether you are just getting started or already have experience, the workshops are a great opportunity to learn, get feedback, and connect with others involved in the competition.
This year, we are again offering a series of workshops with experienced practitioners and experts to help you sharpen your skills and get direct insights into real world policy work. The sessions are designed to be interactive, with plenty of room for questions, discussion, and exchange.
