Student Essay Competition on EU Global Strategy for Foreign and Security Policy


“Why is the European Union's foreign and security policy important for your daily life?”


Our global environment is changing rapidly. That is why the European Union's Heads of State and Government decided to assess the challenges and opportunities that come with these shifts. In June 2015 the European Union's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Federica Mogherini – presented her strategic assessment of the global strategic environment to EU leaders. They asked her to prepare an EU Global Strategy on Foreign and Security Policy (EUGS) to guide the European Union's global actions in the future. The strategy, which will be presented to EU leaders by June 2016, will be developed in close cooperation with Member States, as well as with EU Institutions and the broader foreign policy community.

Over the coming months, the High Representative will lead a broad based reflection phase on the strategic outlook for the European Union's global action to ensure that a wide range of views are taken into account. In this context the High Representative stressed that she would like to see a strategy that connects with and responds to the aspirations of young people. This is why we invite your students to contribute to the ongoing debate by submitting an essay with their views on the European Union's foreign policy.
