Our outgoing Secretary General, Judit Lantai, wrote an article about #EurHope for the 37th issue of Coyote magazine on #YouthParticipation! ➡ Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/dmCZvayd Coyote is an online magazine published by the partnership between the European Commission and the Council of Europe in the field of youth (Youth Partnership) and explores youth participation and its contribution to our societies, economies and #democracy. The article highlights the role of youth organizations and youth workers in promoting #democraticparticipation amid global crises, and the importance of young people turning up to vote in the upcoming 2024 #EuropeanElections and what they would like to see. Our EurHope campaign defines this well in our Agenda of Hope (https://lnkd.in/eGRbg5bD). "Elections do not start at the ballot box" - Europe's future depends on our daily efforts to promote hopeful alternatives and support a Europe that leaves no one behind.

✨ Last week, our Secretary-General Judit Lantai attended the #ElectoralRally of the European Greens and delivered a passionate speech on why fighting for #federalism remains crucial for the future of Europe and the importance of supporting new member states in the process of accession to join the #EuropeanUnion. ‘The natural next step for Europe is another #enlargement and deeper integration among already existing member states if we want to live by the values our concept of #Europe was created for after the hardships of the second world war. If we fail to do this, Europe as we know it, disappears.' - Judit Lantai As the #Europeanelections approach we need to use our vote to define the future of Europe! Don’t forget to vote between the 6-9 June 🗳
