Why you should be voting this May

In May this year, you will be able to cast your vote in the European Parliament elections. We invite you to vote - because we believe that you should have a voice in how the European Union will be shaped for future generations. We invite you to vote as the European Union is far from perfect – there is a great deal of work to do. We invite you to vote as Europe needs reforms that put people and our planet first.

Are you a European living abroad? Then swing into action and register for voting before the registration closes!

We are aware that many people do not even know about the elections and the fact they have a right to vote. So we share with you our collection of information, campaigns, and stories that will give you a better idea of what these elections are actually about. Plus useful resources on how you can vote, whether you are in your home country or living abroad.

How can I vote, why should I vote?

Tandem Ukraine Open Call

We are looking for cultural workers to explore and develop cross-border collaborations between Ukraine and its neighbouring regions.

Tandem is a learning-by-doing-it-together programme that supports social change through culture. It’s a platform to develop new skills, innovate practices and connect to international networks.

You work with a partner from another country in a tandem: Tandems go on a working placement, to explore and gain an insight into the local context of the partner(s) in Ukraine. With this inside knowledge, the Tandem will develop a joint pilot project, which will serve as a space for learning, innovation and engagement.
