As a matter of fact, not everyone has the same access or right to participation in Europe, not everyone is equally represented, not everyone’s voice is equally heard but demands ever more to be taken seriously.
Our four guests all have different backgrounds and biographies living across Europe. What unites them? They are all in their twenties, not satisfied with the status quo and, like many of their peers, they actively shape the Europe they want to live in with their projects, their activism and engagement striving for justice and equality in Europe. These changemakers break through the roles ascribed to them in public discourse and decision-making and move into white spaces where rules of the game are not made with and for them – as young European, as woman, as queer, as migrant, as Romani people, as BIPoC (Black, Indigenous and People of Colour), as refugee.
Our guests will talk about and address the deficits in political participation and their strategies on how young people and marginalised voices can better reach decision-makers, build inclusive political spaces and shape the civic debate. And they will share with us their ideas on concrete steps for a strong European society where everyone feels included.
A joint event between the Schwarzkopf Foundation Young Europe and Futurium.

MACHBAR!
The event is part of Machbar! The series on shaping the future: "I can't do anything anyway" – discussions about the future can be characterised by resignation.
