As a Youth Parliament representative, Irene Elia has first-hand knowledge of the benefits the EU can offer to young people.
In her interview, she says that young people, especially those who are unemployed, can find solid foundations in the EU and develop into active citizens. Starting from their student years, they have the chance to get to know the European Parliament through multiple events and opportunities.
“We vote not because we must, but because we want a united Europe, starting from its young people.”
“EY&YOU” is funded by the European Parliament.
