AUSTRIA – Dave

The EU has shaped who I am today. I was born in the Netherlands, grew up in Austria and took part in an Erasmus+ exchange in Lithuania. For this reason, I am fully aware of the positive impacts of collaboration among diverse nations.

Driven by my profound belief in the European project, I took the initiative in 2020 to channel my passion into action by becoming an activist for European values. Through my involvement with together.eu and EUth, I have been actively organising a series of events aimed at engaging and empowering young Europeans. These events serve as a platform to bridge the gap between youth and politics, fostering awareness about the benefits of EU membership and combating the rise of populism.
My mission is clear: I aim to empower young people to recognise the immense advantages the EU offers, equip them to identify misinformation and inspire them to exercise their democratic right in the upcoming 2024 European elections. It’s a call to action: let’s unite our voices and shape the future we believe in by remembering to #UseYourVote.
