Together with the Croatian Statehood Foundation (ZHDZ) the Konrad Adenauer Foundation organized an event "interim evaluation" of the 18th generation of the ZHDZ's junior political education program from January 31st to February 2nd, 2025, in Rovinj. This weekend seminar always takes place at the end of the first semester of the one-year training course, offers lectures by political stakeholders and serves above all to evaluate the training success achieved so far as well as the preparation of the second half of the course. During the seminar, participants discussed with the Acting Head of the Office of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation for Croatia and Slovenia, Jakov Devčić, and representatives of Croatian universities on topics such as language and cultural identity of a nation, emotional intelligence, morality and authenticity as values in politics, the relationship between religion and politics, the foundations of the family and Christian-democratic values in politics and society, the influence of informal groups on the international order, and the political situation in the Federal Republic of Germany ahead of the upcoming parliamentary elections.
