Burgas will be the center of an in-depth discussion on the future of the European Union, after the city was chosen to host a key meeting entitled "What is Europe Telling Us Today?". The initiative, organized by the Europe Direct Information Centre - Burgas, brings together experts and public representatives to discuss the most important challenges and achievements of a united Europe.
The main topics of the meeting are the achievements and priorities of the European Union, with a special emphasis on their impact on Bulgaria and the Burgas region. Participants will analyze how decisions made in Brussels affect the local level—from economic opportunities to social development. An emphasis will also be placed on the role of young people and civil society as drivers of change. A lively discussion is expected on the challenges and opportunities facing the future of Europe, including issues related to economic stability, climate change, and technological progress.
The culmination of the event will be a live broadcast of the State of the European Union 2025 speech, delivered by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. This moment provides a unique opportunity for attendees to get up-to-date, first-hand information on the European Commission's strategy and its plans for the upcoming year.
The organizing committee includes a wide range of institutions and networks, which underlines the importance of the event. The main organizers include the Regional Information Centre - Burgas, the EURES and EEN networks, the focal point for "Development of the Social Economy", representatives of the Employment Agency, the Municipality of Burgas, as well as local universities and non-governmental organizations. This synergy between state institutions, private organizations, and academic circles demonstrates a commitment to a comprehensive approach to European issues.
The meeting will be held at the Regional Information Centre, with the space expected to be filled with representatives from various fields who are united by the common goal of better understanding and actively participating in the European debate. The hall will be a witness to a constructive dialogue and exchange of ideas that will outline Bulgaria's path in the context of European integration.
