They also had the opportunity to exchange experiences with fellow young political activists from across the region.<\/p>\n<p>The training programme featured sessions led by Friso van Gruijthuijsen, who spoke about the changing political landscape and strategic positioning in politics. Valeria Berkova led sessions on the relationship between culture and politics, as well as the role of video and media in modern political communication. Participants also learned from Daan Slager, who shared practical insights into campaign strategy, political communications, and crisis management based on his experience with the VVD campaign team.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the training sessions, participants visited the Romanian Parliament and were welcomed by former Romanian Minister of Defence Ionu\u021b Mo\u0219teanu, who reflected on current political developments and the importance of democratic resilience in the region.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the workshops, the Academy provided an opportunity to build new international connections and share ideas on how young liberals can respond to the challenges facing democracies today.<\/p>\n<p>VVD International would like to thank all participants, trainers, speakers, and partners for making the programme a success. We look forward to continuing our cooperation with liberal partners across Europe.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block gallery\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div
