How much do we really know about the referendum tool? And what can we concretely do to enhance our democratic involvement?
Just a few days before the referendum polls on 8 and 9 June, we look forward to welcoming you for an open, participatory discussion, accessible to all, aimed at raising awareness of active and conscious participation in the vote.
We look forward to seeing you for the PIVOT round table
on Thursday 5 June, 2025 from 5pm to 7pm
at Arci Porco Rosso – Piazza Casa Professa 1, Palermo
A round table with activists, social workers, citizens and local actors that will discuss the five referendum questions, analysing them in detail and reflecting together about the value of democratic participation.
This event is open to everybody, with particular attention to young people who for the first time is getting ready to practice voting rights. It will be the perfect opportunity to better learn about the referendum tool and approach this important democratic experience with greater awareness.
It will be a forum for sharing and listening, not only to inform but also to share points of view and tools to orient oneself in a complex and fundamental topic.

PIVOT – Youth Promoting Informed VOTe is a project funded by the KA220-YOU – Cooperation partnerships in youth program of the European Union.
