Young Generation Policy Briefs
The publication of policy briefs is an essential part of the Jean Monnet Policy Network “ValEUs”, as it allows for an extended societal dialogue on project results. ValEUs aims to provide a realistic account of EU foreign policy and to scrutinise attacks on its foundational values. The Young Generation Policy Briefs series introduces the perspective of university students and other young voices, identifying problems with self-proclaimed European values and suggesting possible solutions.
