The European Youth Forum is organising a capacity building seminar, called LevelUP!, on the 12-13 of April 2024 in Brussels, Belgium. As a member organisation of the Youth Forum, JEF Europe has 10 spots reserved for young JEFers interested in boosting their activism. 

About the event

LevelUP! is a two-day training to join a community of Democracy Ambassadors who strengthen democratic values and promote participation in the European Elections. The event will include opportunities to connect with young people from all over Europe, meet European politicians and decision makers, exchange ideas with various experts and peers, and develop your own actions to promote democratic participation. 

Travel will be reimbursed and accommodation (incl. breakfast) in hostels around Brussels (participants will share rooms) will be provided, but participants will need to buy their own food.

• You are not younger than 16 years old, and not older than 35. 
• You are a resident of one of these eligible countries 
• You are member of JEF.
