European Leader’s Digest September 2020: Leadership Updates

Welcome to ESFL’S newest members

Last month, we welcomed just one new ESFLer to the movement! 

🚀 Jesús Esteban Almagro, from Madrid, Spain.

Welcome to the world’s largest student movement for liberty, Jesús! 

Events in August

In addition to our virtual Top Leadership Retreat, GSFL also held their annual “Why Liberty?” Summer School. The UK team hosted a webinar titled: The International Misuse of Language in Politics. We were also treated to a leaders’ debate on the institution of marriage at the end of July, which I didn’t get a chance to mention last time.

It’s been a quiet month, but then August usually is, as we prepare both physically and mentally for the launch of the new academic year. A new year means a new set of awards to be claimed! Who will be this year’s champions?

Virtual Top Leadership Retreat

Our virtual Top Leadership Retreat finally happened! 

And it wasn’t terrible.

We knew we were facing an entirely new set of challenges since LibertyCon and the Corona-meltdown, but we were determined to host this retreat no matter what, even if it meant going virtual.

Despite the fact that we could not meet in person, following our annual tradition, we still hosted an extensive training with 18 breakout sessions, an advanced leadership track, with three excellent keynote speakers. We finalized strategic plans and got clearer on our roles. We even had a couple of socials and a trivia night that saw Simon Sarevski take the top prize. 

Let’s all hope that by this time next year, Corona will be a distant memory and we will all be gathered together again in Gummersbach. 

For those of you who might have missed it, check out our cool digital swag!
