About TertEUlia
The name "TertEUlia" is a fusion of two meaningful concepts that perfectly encapsulate the spirit and purpose of our organisation."Tertulia" is a Spanish term that traditionally refers to informal gatherings of people who come together to discuss, debate, and share ideas on topics that matter to them. These meetings are characterised by lively, engaging conversations that foster a deeper understanding and exchange of perspectives. The term evokes a sense of community, intellectual stimulation, and the joy of collective discourse. "EU" stands for the European Union, the central focus of our discussions and analyses. By integrating "EU" into our name, we emphasise our commitment to exploring and debating the policies, current affairs, and pressing issues that shape the European landscape. TertEUlia is, therefore, a platform where young professionals can engage in thoughtful and informed articles about the European Union.
