On February 22nd, the 10th cohort gathered at the Brussels Press Club to mark the culmination of their transformative journey within the ELP, proudly accepting their certificates as a testament to their dedication and growth over the past enriching five months. This graduation ceremony was honored to welcome José Manuel Barroso, former President of the European Commission, whose speech underscored the significance of resilience, advocacy for justice, and tangible commitment to our united Europe.

The event was captured in a poignant video clip featuring key moments from Barroso's address, encapsulating the essence of the ceremony's inspirational atmosphere.
