Dear young Europeans,
What has been your experience as an EU citizen in the UK? What are your hopes and fears in the post-Brexit world?
Join the Young Europeans Network for a 'meet the team' public event next Wednesday, 24 February at 6pm to share your views with us and find out more about and feed in ideas into our 2021 campaigns.
The event will be on Zoom (register here) and also live-streamed on the3million's Facebook page (Facebook event link). However, if you want to speak or ask questions during the event, please register on Zoom.
While we're on the topic of sharing views, an anonymous EU citizens' survey was launched this week covering identity, representation and belonging post-Brexit. Click on the image below or here to participate in this academic survey! |
|
We're also looking for more EU citizens to share their #CitizenshipStory with us, like Hillary did last week (pictured below). If you wish to share a quote and a photo of you for our campaign, or a video, you can now do so using this Google form. Alternatively, please email us at ye@the3million.org.uk. |

This week, we also published another Immigration News piece on the importance of having clear information on citizens' rights on UK Government pages, based on our letter to the Home Office to clarify the 'visa check' page, which is confusing for some EU citizens, in particular students. Click on the image below to read the full piece.

Finally, have a look at all the social media highlights below - it has been another busy week and it is great to see more and more volunteers involved.
Best wishes,
Alexandra and Lara
Alexandra Bulat and Lara Parizotto are the Co-Managers of the Young Europeans Network, the youth wing of the3million.

Young Europeans social media highlights

Many EU citizens wonder whether they can keep their EU citizenship if they choose to apply for British citizenship. This week's #EUQuestionTime video answered this question - it depends! We also have a comprehensive briefing on which countries allow dual nationality with no restrictions and which ones don't. You can read it here. |

"Can I apply for British citizenship and still keep my EU passport?"
|
|
|
On #StudentTuesday, we continued our infographics tradition!

You can also read some EU citizen personal stories in Anna Colivicchi's piece published this week (including interviews with some familiar Young Europeans Network faces).

And more TikTok content will come once the #OurHomeOurVote campaign is launched next week!
