Want to discover how art can change politics?
Join for free the My Elections – My EU! closing event and enjoy the tales from 25 young people from different European countries who have used theatre and art as powerful tools for activism and advocacy.
This youth group faced two critical and current issues — migration (in Lampedusa) and climate change (in Zicksee) — through intensive artistic workshops and meetings with experts. Their journey culminated in a final performance at the European Parliament, where they presented requests and questions directly to the newly elected members of parliament.
We look forward to seeing you
on Friday 24 October, 2025 at 6.30 pm

Free attendance but spots are limited
Don’t miss the chance to connect with a new generation of European activists!
We’ll be waiting for you!
My Elections – My EU! is a project funded by the European Union’s Erasmus+ Programme – Cooperation Partnership in the field of youth, which aims to help young people to understand and critically reflect on European election programmes and to develop their own demands based on real experiences, thus increasing voter participation in the 2024 European elections.
