Members
JEF is made up of members working together to promote the creation of a democratic European federation as a guarantee for peace and a more free, just and democratic society. Our local and regional sections are grouped under National Sections.
We also have several Candidate Sections, formed by JEF Europe, that are active in countries where no registered section exists. After organising successful activities, a group of activists (known as an Interest Group) can apply for candidate status during a JEF Europe statutory meeting. If the section remains active during the next 2 years and consistently upholds JEF’s policies and spirit, they can apply as a full member section during the next statutory meeting.
National Sections
The JEF community consists of activists all around Europe, whether they’re individual members of JEF or part of local or national sections. When speaking of our members, we mean our national and local sections. These sections actively promote the creation of a democratic European federation as a guarantee for peace and a more free, just and democratic society. To find out more about these sections, check them out below.

JEF Czech Republic
JEF Czech Republic (Mladi Evropané CZ) consider JEF CZ as a fellowship of people of various backgrounds, but of people with common interest: support of the European integration. Czech JEF section is a small one. The benefit of this is that we put big emphasis on informal, personal relations in our section.
We try to organise interesting, meaningful events, not just “actions for actions”. None of us is a “professional European activist” and very few of us are students of European studies – on the contrary we have various jobs and studies (engineering, business studies, law etc.), so we organise things that are enriching and fun for us as well: informal debates with guests, debates among us, international events with JEF Passau and with other JEF groups.

Candidate Sections
Although we have members all over Europe, not all European countries have established national sections. We do have several Candidate Sections, which are there to create a network for JEFers to be active in. After organising successful activities, these activists can apply for candidate status at our statutory meetings. If the section remains active during the next 2 years, carries out JEF’s policies and commits to the JEF spirit, they can be accepted as full member sections during the next statutory meeting.
Please find below an overview of candidate sections, which we are currently in touch with (last updated December 2023):
Interest Groups
Before an organisation is recognised as candidate section, people in countries where JEF is not present yet can form an interest group.
Every Executive Board Member is responsible for coordinating some interest groups, and helping them in setting up a new section. If you don’t see a section or candidate section in a country where you think there should be one, contact us to set up an interest group!
Please find below an overview of interest groups, which we are currently in touch with (last updated December 2023):

Campaigning
If you campaign you engage in political warfare. Your goal is to change a specific status, which others defend. To be successful you will need to know the terrain, the means to overcome the defence, who is on your side and you need to put all this into plan. You might dislike this military metaphor but it is a fitting one. Be aware: a political campaign needs to stir up conflict. If your organisation is afraid of arguments then forget about campaigning. Otherwise continue to read. The article starts with a discussion on what a campaign is – and what not. In the second part it explains practical aspects of campaigning. The third part focuses on the challenges to campaign across borders.
Countering Euroscepticism
Eurosceptics have been in the European Parliament since its very first election. Internal criticism and opposition are fundamental parts of democracy. That is why the supporters of European integration should not fear the rise of euroscepticism. Whereas the projected rise of euroscepticism is unlikely to have a large influence on the positions of the European Parliament, those who support further European integration should not feel at ease. Rather, they should be reminded that their arguments must be clear and persuasive for European citizens.
Public Speaking
The aim of this paper is to give you a brief overview of the main things to think about when it comes to public speaking. It includes the definition borrowed from Wikipedia, a few useful tips, an illustration of the different type of presentations, and a 10 point list of how one can ruin a presentation. Despite being a seasoned public speaker myself I have to admit that some of the simple steps discussed hereinafter is something that I should adhere to more diligently myself and, more importantly should help make public speaking better experience – for both you and your audience.
How to find new ideas and make them work? Below you can find a brief introduction to writing articles for our The New Federalist webzine.

Europe at School
How to take the most out of JEF? Try out for example our twinning programme, join pan-European events and attend international seminars!
Twinning Programme
The JEF Europe twinning programme consists in bringing together local sections of JEF in privileged partnerships, meant to last and aimed at building a better knowledge of one another.
There is a lot you can do together: meet one another in your respective cities, do some political reflection together, share your best practices and activities… The frequency of your interaction depends on how much energy you want to put into the project. Some sections have a dedicated person in charge of the relations with the other section and common activities.
In any case, the Task Force Capacity Building is here to help you find a match and get you started. If you have any questions about the programme or want to find out more about it, get in touch with us at twinning@jef.eu.
How to apply for and manage public grants or private partnerships? Find out more by checking out the guide below!
Funding
This segment concerns funding for pan-European youth organisations: where to get it, how to increase your chances of getting your application approved and what to make of the changing nature of European-level funding. It also explores some trends in funding for the NGO sector in Europe. The farther we venture into the future the less certain the predictions of this segment get, but nonetheless I hope that this segment offers some seed for thought for all readers interested in funding.
