Voice for Change: Mahdi Yahya at the European Parliament

September 19, 2025 ⎯ The European Parliament spotlight was on youth this past week as Mahdi Yahya took the stage in Brussels to mark the International Day of Democracy!

Representing the dynamic spirit of Lebanese youth, Mahdi Yahya delivered a powerful address, emphasizing the critical role of young people in strengthening democratic values and establishing lasting peace.

Mr. Yahya’s central message was a call to action: he highlighted the essential importance of making democracy and peace achievable, not merely speakable. His remarks urged a shift from theoretical discussion to concrete, practical steps that translate ideals into tangible realities for citizens in Lebanon and beyond.

This engagement at the heart of the EU institutions underscores the growing significance of the peace of art initiative in bringing powerful artistic and humanitarian messages from #lebanon to the global stage. Mahdi Yahya’s presence is a testament to the power of youth creativity as a tool for diplomacy and impactful change.
