Intro til EU-Politik og EUD (Europæisk Ungdom Danmark)

[English below]
- Foredraget afholdes på dansk

Hvorfor er EU overhovedet vigtigt for unge danskere, og hvordan får vi en stemme i den europæiske debat? Til at skyde Europaugen i gang får vi besøg af Asmus Vilster, landsformand for Europæisk Ungdom Danmark, som vil give os en solid – og alt andet end kedelig – introduktion til EU-politik.

Asmus har en klar mission: EU skal være til at forstå og til at tale med om. I sit oplæg vil han afmystificere systemet i Bruxelles og vise, hvor stor indflydelse EU egentlig har på vores hverdag i Danmark. Samtidig vil han introducere arbejdet i Europæisk Ungdom Danmark (EUD) og fortælle om, hvordan Danmarks største pro-europæiske ungdomsbevægelse arbejder for at engagere unge i alt fra klimapolitik til europæisk sikkerhed.

Oplægget er den perfekte start på ugen, uanset om du allerede ved meget om EU, eller om du bare gerne vil forstå, hvorfor det europæiske samarbejde er afgørende for vores fremtid.

Why is the EU even important for young Danes, and how do we get a voice in the European debate? To kick off Europe Week, we will be joined by Asmus Vilster, President of European Youth Denmark, who will give us a solid – and anything but boring – introduction to EU politics.

Asmus has a clear mission: the EU should be easy to understand and talk about. In his talk, he will demystify the system in Brussels and show how much influence the EU actually has on our daily lives in Denmark. At the same time, he will introduce the work of Europæisk Ungdom Danmark (EUD) and explain how Denmark's largest pro-European youth movement works to engage young people in everything from climate policy to European security.

The talk is the perfect start to the week, whether you already know a lot about the EU or just want to understand why European cooperation is crucial to our future.
