This video captures the introductory remarks by Sabrina Repp MEP at the IMPAC conference "Bridging Divides: Addressing Polarisation & Radicalisation Among Europe's Youth," held in the European Parliament on September 25, 2025.
In her opening remarks as host of the European Parliament's "Bridging Divides" conference on September 25, 2025, Ms Repp addresses the urgent crisis of youth polarisation and radicalisation, fueled by social media's rapid spread of extreme views, as evidenced by heated Israel-Gaza debates in schools in her home region of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern since October 7, where promoting peace proved challenging amid rising antisemitism from far-right groups like the AfD, NPD, and Third Way.
Emphasising democracy's strength in dialogue and diverse perspectives, Repp, as the second-youngest MEP, calls for involving youth in decision-making rather than legislating about them, teaching nuanced thinking over black-and-white extremes, and recognising young men's vulnerability to radicalisation tied to traditional masculinity.
She urges real-world rules for digital spaces, including prosecuting hate speech, combating disinformation, and holding platforms accountable, while advocating early interventions through education and participation to foster an open society rooted in Europe's diversity, democratic values, and human rights, ultimately expressing hope that collective efforts will prioritise dialogue, truth, and hope over division and hate.
Co-organised by the International Movement for Peace and Coexistence (IMPAC) and Sabrina Repp MEP (Socialists & Democrats) this landmark event brought together policymakers, experts, and thought leaders to explore the drivers of youth radicalisation, the role of extremist influences, and strategies for fostering tolerance, integration, and resilience in European societies.
