Y Vote aims to encourage young people to make informed choices at the European Parliament elections while increasing their knowledge about topics that are relevant for young Europeans. To reach this goal, seven conventions, corresponding to the topics of the EU Youth Agenda, are organised. As a participant, you will learn about the functioning of the EU, Creativity & Culture in the EU and discuss how to become active in society.
The result of this events is a set of political recommendations on the topic, which will be combined with all other Convention results and then be presented to stakeholders: Our Agenda for Europe.

Anna is studying Media and Communications in the city of Mannheim in Germany. She is 21 years old and an AEGEE member for almost two years now. Having been active mainly on the local level, she wants to experience working on a bigger project on the European level and therefore joined Y Vote as a Communications Manager. She wants to inform people about their right to vote and the possibilities to choose from beforehand, especially in the European Parliament elections, so that they can become active citizens.
