Do you want to help us motivate the European youth to participate in the upcoming European Elections? In 2024, just as in the previous editions, we encouraged young people to bring Y Vote to their cities! We believe that anyone anywhere can start an activity which falls under the scope of the Y Vote project. Our goal? Motivate people to vote and encourage youth to use their voice and foster a European sense of identity.

In 2024, we wanted to encourage young people, individually or in groups, to think about what they can do on a local level to bring the 2024 European Elections closer to the people in their surroundings. Therefore, we organised together what we call Local Actions which are an essential part of the Y Vote project. Local Actions are local or national events, initiated by young people, with a diverse format, from workshops, panel discussions, and book clubs to pub quizzes, cultural exchanges or street actions.
During our last edition, in 2024, we designed various local activities, including workshops, pub quizzes, debates, panel discussions, and more. These initiatives empowered young people to organise events in their own cities, raising awareness about the importance of youth participation in decision-making and inspiring others to vote, use their voices, and foster a shared European identity. The activities covered essential topics such as the functioning of the European Parliament, the EU’s competencies, youth participation and political activism, and the impact of disinformation and AI on elections.
