Call for creative minds
Artists, (graphic) designers & illustrators for creating pieces for an exhibition representing the past of Europe to young people
About the project
The project Next Chapter Europe – Youth Voice on the Conference for the Future of Europe aims at bringing the Conference on the Future of Europe (CoFoE) close to the young people. The CoFoE is an activity conducted by the European institutions to include European citizens in the process of creating the ‘’future Europe’’, discussing the elemental topics, expectations, dreams and wishes of the European people. At the local level through an informative pan-European campaign and discussion workshops, young people will be invited to learn about Europe and the CoFoE and become active.This will include the creation of an exhibition on Europe’s past and future, to be presented on the European Youth event. Participants of the project will be able to talk confidently about the CoFoE and actively express their opinions, this will also be essential during the local consultation of young people. You can find more information here.
