Call for opportunities!

If our March 21 event gave you a taste of what we were capable of, even in the midst of a pandemic,
hang in there because we’re not done yet!

Thanks to the Y-FED project, JEF Belgium and our local sections are joining forces again to put some glitter in your life.

We are currently working on developing an advocacy toolbox comprising:

giant games about Europe
fancy letters to flood the mailboxes of our elected representatives

And many other material to conduct impactful street actions and activities with various young people and youth groups to collect their ideas on the future of Europe. Because, we too will not be satisfied with the sofa, we want a real seat at the table!

Looking for some (street) action to spice up your life?

Join us to help with this project! We are looking for creative minds and street actions warriors to imagine the games with us and for advocacy actions in mid/late June. Interested? More information? Contact us at info@jefbelgium.eu.

Little Throwback

21 March was a very special day.

COVID has not made it easy for JEFers to do live activities recently. Despite this, we managed to organise a treasure hunt and a static demonstration, combining everything that JEF is about:
fun & activism.

No less than 15 teams of participants took part in our big outdoor game and 50 people joined us to show that we care about rule of law in Europe and to stand in solidarity with our fellow Europeans having their rights being threatened.

After months of lockdown, seeing all those familiar (but also new) faces again and shouting together our rallying cry “Federazione Europea SUBI-TO” made us hopeful that the virus would definitely not drag down our JEF spirit.

Thank you to all the teams who took part in the outdoor games, to all of you who joined us for the sitting protest, to the speakers, to JEF Europe for the #DemocracyUnderPressure campaign that keeps inspiring us every year and to Solidarity Action Brussels for co-organizing this event with us.

Most importantly, we would like to thank our JEFers and wonderful local sections JEF Brussels and JEF Liège without whom all this would not have been possible. Finally, a special shout-out to Gabrielle (JEF Brussels), Salima (JEF Liège), Gauthier (JEF Liège) & Jean-Louis (JEF Brussels) for their time and creativity in imagining the games and making the event so playful.
