14:00 - 15:00: YOU are the EU - right? (ENG)
Join us for an interactive session where we explore your connection to the European Union and how you can shape its politics as a young person. We'll start with a warm-up to discuss your sense of identity and representation within Europe and France. Then, we'll dive into how individuals, especially young activists, can influence EU decisions through activism, lobbying, and political engagement - but most of all, their civic participation. What’s the weight of your vote? Let’s discuss it!
The workshop will be run by Emil Schenkyr.

La session explorera la discussion autour de la migration dans la région de Marseille et au-delà. Elle examinera également comment la migration est abordée aux Pays-Bas et en Allemagne, ainsi que son importance dans le contexte des prochaines élections européennes - à l'échelle mondiale et locale. De plus, le rôle potentiel de l'UE en tant qu'acteur majeur des droits de l'homme en Méditerranée sera discuté, en examinant les actions passées et les récits contemporains sur la migration. En plongeant dans la faisabilité du développement d'un espace d'accueil des migrants et de son impact environnemental, les perspectives des Verts et des jeunes candidats seront explorées. Cette session interactive et participative est particulièrement pertinente en prévision des élections européennes, offrant une plateforme aux jeunes pour échanger des idées et des perspectives sur ce sujet crucial.

It will also examine how migration is addressed in the Netherlands and Germany, and its significance in the context of the upcoming EU elections - globally and locally. Additionally, the potential role of the EU as a major human rights actor in the Mediterranean will be discussed, by examining past actions and contemporary narratives on migration. Delving into the feasibility of developing a migrant reception space and its environmental impact, perspectives from the Greens and young candidates will be explored. This interactive and participatory session is particularly relevant ahead of the EU elections, providing a platform for young people to exchange ideas and perspectives on this crucial topic.
