Two days at the EU Parliament –
Participation in European Youth Week 2024
Last week, Yasmine, our Founder and Director, was invited to Brussels for two days to participate in the events European Youth Week and LevelUp! organized by the European Commission and the European Parliament. Given the upcoming election in June, the central theme of these events focused on Democracy and European Elections.
European Youth Week is a biennial event organized by the European Commission to empower youths and foster youth engagement, participation, and active citizenship all over Europe and beyond. This year, it offered over 1,500 activities for discussion, activities, networking and learning new skills.
Level-UP! was a capacity-building event at the European Parliament, aimed at supporting young activists and enhancing the practical skills they need for public engagement ahead of the upcoming European Elections.
During these two days, Yasmine learned practical skills to integrate into our mission and represented United Rising by sharing our work and insights on how to establish an NGO as a young individual.
Some exciting events of European Youth Week Yasmine participated in:
- ‘Rural is also IN! Young People and Agriculture’ organized by DG AGRI
- ‘Global Youth – Inspire Change, Shape the Future!’ organized by EEAS
- ‘Euro-Participation’ organized by Eurodesk / ERYICA
