LiberaMente 2013

2014 will be the year of european parliament elections. But in most cases, young people today are not aware of the functioning of european politics and institutions. What happens is that most of them feels european institutions as distant and doesn’t have enough knowledge on the complexity and importance of european policies on the daily life of our societies. The consequence is that youngsters don’t know or underestimate the different channels and instruments/tools through which they can actually influence decision makers, not only at the local and national level but also at the european one. What are the programs of the different european parliamentary groups? With which mechanisms do they create their ideas on the future of Europe? How do decisions and visions on public policies originate? How can young europeans influence on these decisions and priorities? Space and time to understand!
