Board of Editors
The Board
The Libel is led by a Board of Editors composed of a team of young liberals from all round the world, whose objective it is to show a way of understanding the world from the new generation’s liberal perspective. It is important to show our goals, to show our mistakes, to show why we strongly believe that youth participation in politics is an important way to make life better and safer for all citizens.
You, our readers, are the most important asset that we have at The Libel. We would be delighted to hear your ideas and remarks on the magazine and never hesitate to get in touch with us in case you want to contribute to it.
