Forthcoming Event

LSN: Young people from all over London are looking forward to quizzing Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), on the European Union (EU) issues that are important to them. A one-day interactive event (Friday 28 November 2008) will help the young people (aged 16-25) to understand & learn more about how the EU works.
 
The aim is to raise awareness of how Europe is governed and to consider some of the main issues affecting the EU today.  It is designed to encourage them to think about the kind of Europe they want to be part of and the actions needed to achieve those aims.
 
The day follows a similar format following on from last year’s successful EurOpinions events, which were organised by the Learning and Skills Network for the European Parliament UK Office.  A further three EurOpinions events are planned for 2008/2009 in the cities of Birmingham, Manchester and Newcastle.
Participation in the events is free of charge.
