The European Union plays a large role in its citizens lives. Many of the discussed topics, like austerity, migration or unemployment, and of the laws made directly impact the life of everyday people. But where are these discussions and decisions happening? How can the european citizens influence them? Is voting a method of choice?
When you want these questions to be answered and you want to discuss their answers then the conference “Representation Needs Participation: European Elections” is the right place for you to go! AEGEE-Salerno, in collaboration with the CEWG and supported by AAFB, is delighted to offer you this event for important current discussions about the european election system.
For three days you will have the chance to learn about different kinds of electoral systems in Europe, reflect about their advantages and disadvantages aided by qualified experts and through interactive sessions. The focus will be on pan-european party elections as an alternative to the current system.
