In anticipation of the 2019 European Parliament elections, #pressEU_NextGen aims to enhance awareness, interest, and knowledge among Greek citizens regarding the significance of elections and the fundamental benefits of participating in the democratic process through voting. Through a series of interactive and informative tools and actions, such as campaigns, discussions, online platforms, workshops, and guides, the project focuses on promoting European engagement, striving to encourage more voters to participate in elections by understanding the importance of European elections.

The project seeks to reach as broad and diverse an audience as possible. However, it will specifically concentrate on the following:

1. Attracting New Voters:

   • The program includes actions and tools specifically designed for potential young voters to become active participants. Young voters represent a critical target group in the voting process. The efforts of #pressEU_NextGen aim to reach and benefit this specific group of citizens.

2. Enhancing Coverage of European Elections:

   • European Union elections need to be more visible. To increase and improve the level of information and knowledge about European elections, #pressEU_NextGen places special emphasis on educating journalists and media professionals. They are the primary and most effective multipliers of political messages and news for citizens. The project’s goal is to ensure that citizens are adequately and fully informed. This involves educating journalists about the operational functioning of the European Parliament and highlighting cases of misinformation. Additionally, the project includes a practical guide for journalists, offering useful advice and links
