Thank you

Thank you to everyone who took part in our online consultation. The New Narrative for Europe aimed at involving young people on the discussions for the future of Europe. We value all the constructive suggestions to build a better Europe and address the challenges ahead.

Ideas were gathered from four activities:

Inspiring People

These European personalities made a change, moved us forward and left footprints in the European history with their innovative ideas and visions. Who would be your role model?

Inspiring Event

Explore the ‘Imagine Europe: In search of new narratives’ exhibition at BOZAR (April-May 2016) and get inspired by today’s artists, scientists and thinkers who all had unique ideas for the future of Europe.

 

How can we help young people to make the right choice when deciding whether to move?

In countries where there is high youth unemployment, lots of young people feel excluded. For them, studying or working elsewhere in the EU would allow them to follow their dreams, receive the education they want and put their skills into practice. How can we help them to find the job or study course they’re looking for abroad? What do you think the EU could do to help them settle in a different environment? What can the EU do to support the regions they’ve come from – the regions that suffer from difficult economic situations?

What would encourage more people to vote or participate in public life?

When young people are asked what they think are the best ways to take part in public life, the most popular answer is voting in European elections. Yet, worryingly, less than half of the young people eligible to vote in the 2014 European elections actually did so. How would you explain the low turnout? What would encourage more young people to feel involved enough to vote?
