Fellowship 2025
Transnationale Solidarität & Resilienz, Grundrechte und Sicherheit
Junge Europäer*innen wurden im letzten Jahrzehnt mit multiplen Krisen konfrontiert – von einer Pandemie über Krieg an unserer Haustür und darüber hinaus, zu Waldbränden, Fluten, Erdbeben, dem Erstarken antidemokratischer Parteien und vielem mehr. Wie können wir in diesen schwierigen Zeiten Resilienz fördern, uns für Grundrechte einsetzen, transnationale Solidarität aufbauen und für Sicherheit für unsere Gemeinschaften in und um Europa sorgen?
Fellows 2025

Yasmine Djidel
“I'm incredibly excited to take part in this fellowship on the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights because I believe that we are at a critical juncture for democracy and the rule of law in Europe. Across the EU, we’re witnessing the growing influence of far-right ideologies that directly challenge the universality of rights, fuel discrimination, and seek to undermine the very principles the Charter stands for. For me, this fellowship is an opportunity not only to deepen my knowledge of fundamental rights, but also to strengthen the tools we need to defend them.”

"I’m really happy to have been selected as part of the Understanding Europe Fellowship because it gives me the chance to expand my network and connect with other passionate young people across Europe. It also offers a great opportunity to raise awareness about international solidarity and resilience—topics I deeply care about and believe are more important than ever in today’s world. I’m excited to contribute to conversations that matter and to grow both personally and professionally through this experience."

"In a time where discussions around security are ever-important, I’m delighted to have the opportunity to highlight and encourage citizens to reflect on their individual security and the contextual and influential knowledge surrounding it. Security isn’t only about nations in conflict with one another and something individuals have no influence over. Each form of security is unique to the individual and its about translating those stories and feelings into tangible ways to uphold your own sense of security and the security of those around you."
