In 2024, teenagers from the age of 16 have a unique opportunity - for the first time they can participate in the European elections! Instead of a desk in a classroom, they will have the opportunity to express their opinion on the future of Europe and choose the leaders who will shape the way in Parliament for the next five years. #si40foreu #ErasmusPlus #JeanMonnet invites you to visit the Info Hub https://visiting.europarl.europa.eu/.../brussels/info-hub. It will be an open and free experience where both high school and college students can thoroughly prepare before casting their vote. 🔍 "The path of election experience" This unique experience will enable teenagers to identify their priorities in European politics. On the "What Europe is doing for me" platform, they will be able to understand how these priorities are addressed. They will examine the election website and learn how the decisions of the European Parliament contribute to improving the quality of life in the European Union. 🌐 Virtual experience "Become an MP" For a truly in-depth insight into the daily life of a Member of the European Parliament, pupils and students can try the virtual experience "Become a Member of Parliament" and learn more about the working process of decision-making in the European Parliament. 🗣️ Express your goals for the EU! The final step, the "Election Experience Path", invites students and pupils to express their ambitions and ideas for the European Union, joining others in directly influencing the democratic development of the EU. #si40foreu #EUvolitve2024 #InfoHubEU #YouthVote
