Focus on Young People’s Advocacy for Democracy
In the aftermath of the European and parliamentary elections, Thanks for Nothing is mobilising by organising a Young People’s Advocacy for Democracy.
To highlight their actions, we are giving the stage to 10 young people committed to democracy, on the stage of the Auditorium of the Musée du Louvre. Our aim is to make this initiative a genuine tribune for young people to express their support for European citizenship as a bulwark of democracy.
