SAVE THE DATE | 23 May for the #HBOvote European Election Festival!
Would you like to learn more about the European Union? Or would you like to hear directly from a candidate Member of the European Parliament (MEP) what they can do for young people at European level? Then come to the election festival #HBOvote on Thursday 23 May.
This is an event organised by students, for all who are interested. Of course, everyone is welcome!
Interesting workshops will be organised. For example, imagine you are a real politician during the Create Your Own Political Party workshop! Or learn more about the challenges of contemporary Europe during the workshop The EU's Challenging Neighbourhood.
Ask an MEP a question
Also during this second edition of the election festival, (candidate) MEPs will be present. We will announce their names soon. Do you already have a good question in mind? Who knows, maybe your question will be raised during the interactive debate. You can submit the question via the registration link!
The candidate EPs present:
Raquel Garcia (D66)
Marlou van Beek (VVD)
Rene Visser (NSC)
Wilhelmina Steijling (NSC)
Michiel Hoogeveen (JA21)
Practical information
The working language of this event is English. Does this festival overlap (partly) with your classes? No worries - you can also join part of the program - from the walk-in or the break, for example!
