BINGO! Fun level of SOTEU: 1000

On September 12, it was BINGO time! As Jean-Claude Juncker gave his last official State of the European Union with his vision for the future of Europe, JEF Brussels gathered (a lot of) young people to play a bingo game linked to Juncker’s speech. Afterwards, it was time to discuss our own vision for the future of Europe, which was – if you ask me – much more ambitious. See you next time?

Quite the turnout, as you can see in the pictures!

And there was some talent in the room… Special guest: a violin player! (These events never stop surprising)

This event was part of the Enjoy Your Future project. For more info, contact: info@jefbelgium.eu.

Speaking up about Europe

20 June 2018 | How to kill two birds with one stone and empower young people who are passionate about Europe by giving them skills and knowledge? Organise a book club!

JEF Brussels organised a small event with the aim to have deep discussion around the five topics that are part of the Enjoy Your Future project (youth, employment, integration, borders and criminal organisations). A book club seemed the best format for this: a small group, books and articles to give the background knowledge, and the opportunity for all participants to speak up and voice their ideas about Europe. 

To encourage participants to speak up, we organised a little competition in which we gave a little prize for the best interventions by participants on each of the five topics. This inspired participants to keep talking about Europe, also beyond this event, now that they were strengthened by knowledge and skills.
