Bridging Divides: Can Youth Vote Strengthen European Elections in Times of Crisis?

Local elections may feel small, but they shape the future of our communities and Europe. Join us for an interactive workshop where young Europeans come together to explore how local democratic action can strengthen unity, even in times of crisis.

What to expect: inspiring talks on why local elections matter in a European context, stories from young changemakers making local action count across Europe, small-group discussions on crises like climate, misinformation and integration, a hands-on "Action Lab" where you'll design bold campaigns to boost youth voting, and a space to meet peers, share ideas, and discover how to make your voice heard.

Workshop goals: empower young Europeans in Denmark to engage with local politics and vote in 2025, show how local democracy connects to European unity, highlight Denmark's leadership role in strengthening democratic values, and create dialogue on overcoming apathy and building solidarity.
