Preparing Youth Voices for the 2024 European Elections

WWith the European Elections of 2024 approaching, the active participation of young people in the electoral process is more crucial than ever. Their engagement shapes a future that reflects their aspirations and concerns.

In collaboration with Europe Direct: Nice Côte d’Azur, we hosted a workshop in Nice, France, dedicated to clarifying the role of European institutions and exploring how youth can actively engage in the upcoming elections.

This event provided a platform for both young people and youth workers, creating an opportunity to discuss, learn, and express their views on democracy and civic participation. The discussions emphasized the importance of youth involvement in shaping the future of Europe.

Young participants from France and various European countries joined us, contributing to insightful conversations and meeting key objectives:

  • Engage and educate young people on the European electoral process.
  • Provide a space for participants to debate and share perspectives on European policies.
  • Foster a sense of European identity and solidarity among youth.

As we move closer to the elections, initiatives like these serve as essential spaces for education, dialogue, and action, ensuring that young voices are heard where it matters most.
