WELCOME TO JEF MALTA

JEF (Young European Federalists) Malta is a pro-European youth political organisation working towards a more united, and ultimately, federal Europe. We are open to all young Europeans aged 16 to 35 eager to defend and promote the European project in Malta. Join us!

ABOUT JEF MALTA

JEF Malta is a non-partisan youth NGO and political movement as well as a student organisation within the University of Malta. Internationally, it forms part of JEF Europe, which also is a non-partisan federalist movement. In total, JEF has over 13,000 members from national and local sections in over 30 countries. Through JEF Europe, we are a part of a massive international network of youths all working towards a more united and democratic Europe.

JEF Malta’s principal goals are to promote European affairs and bring Europe closer to young people while bridging the gap between policy makers and youths in Malta. All of our work is framed within the context of campaigning for a more united and democratic Europe. We believe that our future lies within a more integrated Europe which is closer to its citizens. Locally, we organise debates, interactive workshops, social events and even a debating simulation based on an integrated European Union. Through JEF Europe, we also offer various international opportunities like participating in seminars and training sessions, taking part in Y-FED and also EU institutional visits.

What we do

IDE

The Integrated Democratic Europe project (IDE) is our own original simulation which envisages a context of a more democratic and integrated European Union. It gives participants the opportunity to develop their skills in public speaking, debating and policy making.

Press

In order to promote our mission, we create original written content, usually in the form of articles. Find our published articles in The New Federalist, JEF Europe’s webzine and on the Third Eye, a local students’ news site.

International

JEF Malta is one of the most active national sections that forms part of JEF Europe. We constantly work together with JEF Europe and other sections to promote our goals and encourage European youth participation by informing our members in Malta of any international opportunities.

Events

From time to time, we organise a number of social and cultural events open to members and anyone interested. After starting each term with a Meet the Exec event, we hold different events such as pub-crawls, quizzes and more!

Civic Education

We actively promote our message by reaching out to the community in various civic education initiatives. This includes the Europe at School project, where we educate different students in Malta on European values and democracy

Social Policy

Throughout the year, we implement various social policy campaigns such as JEF Talks, bridging the gap between youths and policy makers and initiating youth discussion on various social policies.
