Calls Upon Young Artists for the 2024 European Parliamentary Elections"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

The 2019 European Parliamentary Elections marked a turning point with a remarkable surge in voter turnout \u2013 the highest in 25 years. However, to bridge the generational gap in political engagement, “Pop the Vote! Culture on the Ballot”<\/a> is gearing up for an electrifying initiative leading up to the 2024 elections. Led by Culture Action Europe<\/a> and co-funded by the European Parliament, this project calls upon young artists and student artists, aged 18-30, to be Changemakers in their communities. In early 2024, selected Changemakers will mobilise citizens, especially underrepresented groups, using art and culture as tools to enhance political participation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engaging young artists<\/strong>
Digging deeper into the 2019 elections, an interesting trend emerged between older and younger voters: Younger voters tended to take their time in deciding whom to vote for. They were more deliberate and had a strong focus on crucial issues like climate change, human rights, and democracy. Pop the Vote! wants to
build on this energy and bring more artists into the discussion: Who better than young Changemakers to fuel innovative and inclusive public discourse? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putting culture on the ballot<\/strong>
52 young artists from 14 EU countries will embark on a week-long training program in Belgium in February 2024. This immersive experience will cover artivism, campaigning, and using artistic expression as a political language. By the end of the camp, Changemakers will design a blueprint for two engagement events in their home countries. These events, leveraging arts and artivism, aim to mobilise over 5,000 citizens leading up to the EP elections in June 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calling all Changemakers<\/strong>
Artists, student artists, and\/or cultural workers aged 18-30 are invited to respond to the open call until 15 October 2023. In order to be eligible, Changemakers must reside in one of the participating countries: Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy,<\/strong> the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, or Sweden<\/strong>. Pop the Vote! provides Changemakers with a fully-funded training in Belgium (including travel, accommodation and meals) and 1,197 EUR to support their artistic engagement in the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
