A Memorable Day at the European Parliament for Youth in Europe Participants

Yes­ter­day was an excit­ing and enrich­ing day for the Youth in Europe project par­tic­i­pants, as they had the incred­i­ble oppor­tu­ni­ty to vis­it the Euro­pean Par­lia­ment in Brus­sels. The day includ­ed a spe­cial meet­ing with Mem­ber of the Euro­pean Par­lia­ment Camil­la Lau­reti, where the win­ning videos of the con­test "Unit­ed by the Knowl­edge of Europe" were pre­sent­ed.

Each win­ner had the chance to share their expe­ri­ence and explain how the project helped them bet­ter under­stand Euro­pean val­ues and insti­tu­tions, con­tribut­ing to their growth as informed cit­i­zens.

The group also had the priv­i­lege of meet­ing Bil­iana Sir­ako­va, coor­di­na­tor at the Euro­pean Com­mis­sion for Edu­ca­tion, Youth, Sport, and Cul­ture. This meet­ing pro­vid­ed valu­able insights into the Euro­pean Union's work in pro­mot­ing youth engage­ment and edu­ca­tion across Europe.

To con­clude the day, par­tic­i­pants vis­it­ed the Euro­pean Eco­nom­ic and Social Com­mit­tee to learn about its role and func­tions with­in the Euro­pean Union. This vis­it allowed them to see first­hand how dif­fer­ent EU insti­tu­tions work togeth­er to ensure the smooth func­tion­ing of the Union.

This expe­ri­ence served as a pow­er­ful reminder of the impor­tance of being active and informed
cit­i­zens, high­light­ing the sig­nif­i­cance of the Youth in Europe project in empow­er­ing young peo­ple
to engage with Europe’s demo­c­ra­t­ic process­es.
