CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS: YO!Fest 2018
The 10th edition of YO!Fest (Youth Opinion Festival), Europe's biggest youth political festival is taking place this June in Strasbourg, France. As well as running several workshops at the event, IFM-SEI is sending a delegation, which YOU can be part of!
This event is organised by the European Youth Forum and combines debates, workshops, talks, exhibitions and performances to celebrate what it means to be a young European.
There are five hubs at the event: Keeping up with the Digital Revolution, Staying Alive in Turbulent Times, Working out for a Stronger Europe, Protecting our Planet and Calling for a Fair Share. IFM-SEI falls under the Calling for a Fair Share hub running activities covering migration, prevention of sexual violence and the effects of climate change.
When and what?
The event itself is the 1-2nd of June but participants are required to stay from the 31st until the 3rd so they can be present for the whole event.
The event will be packed full of daytime and evening activities covering a wide range of interesting topics. A wide range of organisations based all over Europe are hosting activities at the event. This is the third consecutive year IFM-SEI has taken part in YO!Fest and hopefully the best year yet!
