Some of last year's events
May 2025, Amsterdam
Summer Gala
Black tie in a historic building in the centre of Amsterdam: a three-course dinner, speeches, an open bar and a party until the small hours. That evening we welcomed guests from the United States, active in circles around the White House.
Exclusively for members, and sold out well in advance.
Summer 2025, France
Summer Camp
Every summer we take our members to a château in the French countryside for a full week. Mornings are for lectures and debate, afternoons for sport and competition, evenings for formal dinners and campfires.
We organise the whole camp ourselves, from transport and catering to the printed day programme. It is where lifelong friendships in our movement begin.
June 2026, Kasteel Woerden
Annual Congress
The high point of our association year: a full day of speeches, debate and music at a medieval castle. In 2026 we welcomed guest speakers from allied youth movements across Europe, alongside our own MPs and party leadership.
The congress is where our members set the course of the association, and where new members find out what JFVD is about.
December 2025, a castle in the middle of the country
Christmas Gala
We close every year in style. Our annual Christmas Gala brings hundreds of members together at a castle: black tie, dinner, speeches and dancing deep into the night. In 2025 it doubled as a celebration of our movement's election result.
Sold out, as it is every year.
