By enhancing coordination among working groups, regional teams, and members, the hubs aim to boost engagement, improve coherence, and amplify the impact of ALDA’s actions throughout Europe.

ALDA extends its warmest congratulations to the newly elected leadership, reaffirming its commitment to strengthening cooperation on key priorities such as EU enlargement, deliberative democracy, and citizen participation.
