The European Union through the eyes of the younger generation
Open Discussion with third grade students at Kykkos B’ Lyceum
Year 2024 is an election year for the European Union and marks the 20th anniversary of Cyprus’ accession to the EU. Cypriot citizens will vote on the 9th of June, including many young people who will use their right to vote for the first time in the upcoming European elections.
With the start of the New Year, OPEK – Association for Social Reform continues its engagement activities with citizens, promoting participatory democracy and critical thinking around European events.
On the 12th of January, in cooperation with Kykkos B’ Lyceum, a debate will be held with third grade students. There will be a presentation of the pan-European platform MAZI.EU and an interactive discussion moderated by the journalist Kyriakos Pierides.
The discussion will focus on the following:
What does “European citizenship” mean to me as a young person?
What has Cyprus gained from our EU membership?
What do I expect to change for my future?
The event is part of the European programme “We – Together”, which aims to increase citizens’ participation in European public life and the upcoming European elections.
