Vision and Organisational Milestones
Bringing young people into the public debate and the institutions of the European Union
Our approach
Génération Maastricht is an association under the French law of 1901, created in 2019, composed of a network of more than 750 sympathisers and a national office whose mission is to organise and coordinate the network.
To this end, our teams, made up of a hundred volunteers, all of whom are assigned to various tasks, organise conference, debates, simulations of the European Parliament, visits to institutions or agoras; the aim of these events is to enable young people to express themselves, to familiarise themselves with the mechanisms for producing laws and public policies, in order to bring about the changes they wish to see in order to create the Europe of tomorrow.
We want to encourage, through the participation of young people in consultations and debates, the knowledge of the functioning of the European political institutions in order to better act within and outside of them.

Génération Maastricht was founded, at the time under the name of "Institut" J. Kennedy"
Pierre-Jean Clausse founded what was then called the Kennedy Institute during his high school years. The aim of this organisation was to promote engagement between French and American youth.
