Speaker: Hélder Sousa Silva. 2 June 2025 - 3 p.m. (BR) / 6 p.m. (PT)

At the conference ‘Europe that Educates, Europe that Transforms, Europe that Protects’, Hélder Sousa Silva will convey a message of confidence in the European project as a major force for progress. Drawing on his experience in the European Parliament and in local government, he will argue that education is the true foundation of the future: a Europe that invests in knowledge produces citizens who are better prepared, freer and more capable of innovation. Recalling the concrete impact of European policies on regions and communities, he will be able to emphasise that the European Union transforms lives when it invests in cohesion, development and opportunities for all. And, with his experience in the areas of security and civil protection, he will affirm that a united Europe is also a Europe that protects its citizens and guarantees stability in an uncertain world. Your speech will thus be a call for an ambitious Europe that is close to its people and faithful to the values that have made it an area of peace, freedom and hope.
