Unboxing Y-Europe 2024

In Unboxing Y-Europe, we aim at creating a digital toolbox that supports immigrants and refugees upon their arrival in Europe by providing insights into the most important facts about Europe and the European Union. In addition to the legal framework, the tool wants to focus on Union values and possibilities for participation in European societies. Within the framework of both digital as well as Berlin-based workshops, a critical perspective on the recent state of immigration as well as its legal framework will be discussed. The development of the toolbox will be based on interviews and direct exchange with the final target group of Newcomers.

All participants who join the project co-create the final tool with us. The project includes the following building blocks :

• a digital Kick-Off workshop 
• a project week in Berlin (3 March  – 7 March 2024, incl. travel)
• two shorter digital collaboration session in which the toolbox will be evaluated and finalised

Unboxing Y Europe 2024 – Unlocking the EP Elections

At Unboxing Y Europe, young people from various countries and locations collaborated to independently develop an innovative toolbox for the European elections. The results of their work can be found on the website they created themselves: www.youngvoters.de.

The aim of the seminar was to empower the participants to develop their own tool. Based on their own ideas and intensive exchanges with Berlin students, the website was created.

Through the seminar, they were able to develop something that also motivates other young people to actively participate in democratic processes. What have we achieved?

• A website with information, toolboxes, and relevant details about the European elections was created

• Valuable expert discussions and insights into political processes

• Inspiring experiences in Berlin on the theme of "Living Democracy"

Discover the results on our website: www.youngvoters.de

On the website, you will find:

• Experiences and information from and for first-time voters

• Links to teaching and learning materials

• Insights into the European elections from various perspectives

• Materials on the topics of democracy, rights, and the EU Get inspired along with your students. We hope that this will help us mobilize and effectively inform many new voters.

The project is financed through the CERV programme of the European Union. Due to this, participation in the project is free.
