On October 29th, the NearEU Jean Monnet Module hosted its sixth Master Class, entitled “Dis-united in diversity? Internal challenges to the process of integration”, which was delivered by the Estonian Member of European Parliament – Yana Toom (Renew Europe). The Master Class looked at the most pressing internal and external challenges that the European Union is facing, at the moment, in the form of climate change, green transition, illiberal trends and rise of far-right movements in several member states.
