The European Conservatives and Reformists Party (ECR) is pleased to announce its latest initiative: the European Family Congress – Second Edition, which will take place in Dubrovnik, Croatia, from October 18 to 20, 2024. This event marks a crucial moment for strengthening conservative ideas and values, which are fundamental in a rapidly changing Europe.
In recent years, the presence of conservatives across the territory has become increasingly important. It is essential for conservative parties to gather and discuss the issues that affect families and European society. Participation in events like the European Family Congress not only offers the opportunity to delve into highly relevant topics but also to embed the ideas and values of our movement within various national contexts. The ability to organize meaningful events like this demonstrates the strength and unity of our party, as well as our desire to face contemporary challenges together. Not confined to institutional halls but out in the squares across Europe, every day gaining the people’s support and engaging with their thoughts. This Congress is born out of that same spirit—to strengthen our ideas and to imagine new ones. European conservatives are not a monolithic ideological bloc, but a forum for discussion composed of parties from different backgrounds, and therein lies their great strength. In diversity, the best and most useful solutions can be found.
The Congress will focus on fundamental issues, including family and demography in European policies. We will discuss the importance of strengthening family values in a context that often questions the very foundations of our society. Among the topics on the agenda will be the analysis of social media addiction, a phenomenon that directly impacts family dynamics and young people. It is crucial for conservatives to become advocates for greater awareness of how social media influences relationships and the development of new generations.
Furthermore, we will address the topic of improving European educational systems. It is essential that schools are able to transmit solid values and form responsible citizens, aware and engaged in their communities. Our conservative vision emphasizes the importance of tradition and stability as the foundations for a healthy and prosperous society. By comparing the different educational and school systems, we can understand what the strengths are and, conversely, what must absolutely change. A firm “no” will be dedicated to gender ideology, which cannot find a place in educational institutions.
Participating in an event of this magnitude not only offers an important opportunity for discussion and dialogue but also allows attendees to discover the beauty of Dubrovnik, one of the Mediterranean’s gems. Known for its historical and cultural heritage, this city is an ideal stage for discussing the future of the family and European society. Dubrovnik is an extraordinary city, here are three of its must-see wonders: the Dubrovnik Walls, imposing medieval walls surrounding the old town, offering breathtaking views of the Adriatic Sea and the city’s red rooftops. Or the Rector’s Palace in the main square, a magnificent example of Renaissance architecture. Today, it hosts a museum that tells the story of the city and its past as an autonomous republic.
The dates of the Congress, from October 18 to 20, 2024, are an invitation to all those who believe in conservative values and the future of European families. This is not just an event but an opportunity to unite and strengthen our commitment to a Europe that values family, tradition, and community.
In conclusion, the European Family Congress is a significant step for the European Conservatives and Reformists Party, a moment to listen, learn, and spread the ideas that unite us. Our presence in Dubrovnik is not just a symbolic act but a declaration of intent: we want to be an active part in shaping the policies that will define Europe’s future. Join us in this important initiative and help build a Europe that does not forget its fundamental values.
