In 2025, JNF organised the General Assembly of the IED. The 35 participants from various EU countries were offered a programme – surrounding the GA – that introduced them to The Hague – the city of international Peace and Justice – and the Peace Palace as the seat of the Permanent Court of Arbitration, the International Court of Justice of the United Nations, and The Hague Academy of International Law.

In 2024, in the run-up to the EP elections, JNF organised a meeting in Helmond with all 50 EU candidates on behalf of 50PLUS, with contributions from the Association of Pensioners Abroad (VBNGB), the Older Women’s Network NL (OVN/NL), AGE, and IED. Attention was given to the AGE manifesto, as well as to the problems experienced by pensioners living abroad. The Manifesto offers clear guidelines for elderly themes in European politics. Finally, the WHO concept of Age-Friendly Cities (such as Helmond!) was explained.

In 2021 and 2022, JNF organised meetings aimed at promoting the political engagement of the elderly and specifically focused on the situation of the elderly in Europe. In 2023, we had a larger seminar in the meeting room of the EK (First Chamber/Senate), with participation from Europe (AGE and IED), Brazil, Hungary, and the Netherlands.
