Foundation for Entrepreneurship, Culture and Education is looking for five enthusiastic Bulgarian participants (age 18-30) to join the youth exchange European Elections – Youth at the Forefront which will take place in Ljubljana, Slovenia from June 1st to 7th (with travel days included).
The European Parliament elections are scheduled for June 2024, providing young people with an opportunity not only to exercise their civic right to vote but also to vote as informed citizens with a clear vision for their future. The project aims to empower participants to understand political processes and how they can influence them with their opinions. Following five days of intensive work and dialogue with politicians, the practical goal is to disseminate the acquired knowledge to high school students. Through this project, we aim to bring the EU and the elections closer to a wider audience.
The project will encompass various activities designed to encourage active citizenship among young people and enhance their knowledge about the European Union. Additionally, we plan to hold discussions with candidates for the European Parliament.
Among the planned activities are also visits to different institutions:
- Slovenian Parliament
- House of the EU and the

- Liaison Office
- Central Bank
- National Museum of Contemporary History
