The 30 participants of the 2018 European Women's Academy will meet for the second session from 9 to 11 June in Potsdam, Germany.

The European Women's Academy is our annual state-of-the-art training programme, in cooperation with the Friedrich Naumann Foundation and the European Liberal Forum, for female politicians aimed at inspiring and enriching them with the knowledge and tools to be successful in their upcoming elections and in their future political careers.

During this second session, the participants will be trained on canvassing, messaging and social media. They will also have the opportunity to listen to inspriring success cases from previous EWA alumnae: Bettina Stark-Watzinger MdB, who is now Chair of the Finance Committee in the Bundestag, and Rebekka Borsch, who is now State Secretary for Research and Higher Education of Norway.
