Europe's Future – Activating Youth and Community involvement in European decision making
Europe’s Future aims to build on learning gathered from The Wheel’s previous European Parliament projects funded by DGCOMM by focusing on voter activation among young people, rural communities, and the voluntary, charity and social enterprise sector in advance the 2019 European Elections.
Overview
The Wheel is the lead coordinator of the project, managing the overall outputs and outcomes and working closely with partners SpunOut.ie and the Union of Students in Ireland to deliver.
As the only democratically elected EU institution, the European Parliament is the vehicle of public decision-making at an EU level. The Wheel sees it as essential to communicate its value to Irish citizens via our youth partners and member organisations. A particular concern for The Wheel, its members, and rural and younger citizens is the impact of Brexit on our economic, social, and political lives so the project will address this problem and provide opportunities to learn and discuss key issues within this context.
This project involves the organisation of a series of events, both on and offline, bringing together civil society and young people with Members of the European Parliament to discuss relevant issues, as well as the creation of informational resources and a large-scale voter registration drive.
