Europe Responding to Global Challenges

Ambassador Visentin's lecture will be followed by a reception in the Bradley Forum Foyer

In a time marked by increasing global uncertainty, the European Union (EU) stands as a pivotal force in addressing some of the world’s most pressing challenges. EU Ambassador to Australia, Gabriele Visentin, will deliver an insightful address on the EU’s multifaceted role in confronting crises across the world. From providing vital humanitarian aid to fostering essential diplomatic support, the EU has become an anchor of stability in times of turmoil.Drawing on its strategic initiatives such as the Global Gateway, the EU is driving cooperation, empowering nations to overcome adversity and chart paths toward long-term resilience. In addition to strongly supporting Ukraine’s defence efforts and path towards peace, the EU works in key nations such as Afghanistan and the Pacific Island Countries. Ambassador Visentin will spotlight the crucial contributions of individuals like Raffaella Iodice, whose tireless advocacy for Afghan women’s and girls’ rights exemplifies the profound impact of personal dedication to global change for good. This address promises to offer a deep dive into the EU’s ongoing efforts and the inspiring individuals who are shaping a more cooperative and compassionate world.
