My Elections My EU: migration and climate change in the european Parliament

My Elections – My EU! involved about 25 young people in international workshops on migration and climate change, culminating in an artistic-political performance at the European Parliament. The journey enabled them to gain knowledge and develop expressive skills, with the aim of promoting civic engagement and dialogue with members of the European Parliament, and will be documented in a digital toolkit to replicate the experience.
