On 24–25 July 2025, Berlin became the meeting point for student leaders and education activists from across Europe. EUnity Conference 2025 gathered young people to discuss education, mobility, and the role of Ukraine in European space. Over two days, participants shared ideas, debated solutions, and experienced the true spirit of unity.
The opening day focused on the shared past and present between Ukraine and the EU. Participants explored historical ties, addressed the pressing challenges of Ukrainian higher education, and uncovered opportunities for deeper cooperation. A central theme was student mobility: understanding barriers and co-creating solutions for more accessible exchange.
The day ended with Ukrainian Night — a vibrant cultural event filled with music, warmth, and authentic connections. It reminded everyone that culture is one of the strongest bridges of understanding.
The second day turned into hands-on experience. A full EU Simulation Session at the Europa Experience Centre allowed participants to step into the shoes of decision-makers. During the Policy Lab, youth teams designed forward-looking policies in education and mobility to support Ukraine’s recovery.
Networking at the Partnership Café provided space for real collaborations, while ESN Talks gave a platform to present bold ideas. The conference wrapped up with hope, strong hugs, and the clear conviction that young people are driving change.
“As ESN Ukraine, we’re beyond proud to have organized this space where ideas met action, and where the Ukrainian voice was heard loud and clear in the heart of Europe.”
For ESN Ukraine, the conference was not only about discussion but about creating a movement — proving that youth have the power and vision to shape policies for a better tomorrow.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined, contributed, and believed in the power of youth. Together, we are building the Europe of the future — open, educational, and united in solidarity.
