Our theme relates to the challenging times we are in right now. During this unique symposium you can expect many sessions with interesting topics, not just for our Lions and Leo leaders but for all club members. For your convenience we will have all sessions translated (subtitles) in 4 languages (English, German, French and Italian).
Please visit the program page and find your preferred sessions. Top presenters from around Europe and Lions leaders from around the world are sharing their experience and knowledge with you. During the sessions you will be able to life chat with the speakers.
We will have musical contributions from former participants of our European Lions Music Contest Thomas Kuti, a platform where young musicians can perform for a wide audience.
Lions want to have fun!
After the symposium we will hold a Virtual Wine party! Join us, bring your own preferred glass of wine, white or red or rosé – it does not matter. Very well-known wine experts from several European countries who are also Lions will talk about their favourites, you certainly want to be there.
