Joining a place of like-minded people
Sabīne, political science student. My journey with the together.eu community began even before it was created, when it was known as the thistimeimvoting.eu campaign. I got involved in it as a pupil at the Riga secondary school No 25, one of the European Parliament’s Ambassador Schools.
The more active we are, the better the European future that awaits us
My name is Ruben, I'm 26 years old and after finishing my degree in European Studies I realized I could further my knowledge.
I wanted to learn more about the European institutions and be aware of what is proposed in the EP.
I became a together.eu volunteer because I wanted to learn more about the European institutions and to be abreast of what was going on in the European Parliament. I felt that I didn’t know enough about how the European Parliament works and I didn’t know what MEPs did exactly.

Europe in schools thanks to Carola and other friends of the together.eu community
I became a member of together.eu after the success of ThisTimeIamVoting.
Young people should be given a seat at the table
As a young European and a youth worker, I feel responsible for the future of Europe. I firmly believe that empowering young people with the attitudes, knowledge and skills to take part in decision-making will contribute to the sustainability of our democracies and to fostering a common sense of identity. That is why I joined together.eu, to encourage active citizenship and to be part of a community based on shared values and mutual commitment to furthering to European project.
Getting the European Union closer to the regions!
Being part of together.eu means being part of a community that has a purpose. Since I joined in 2020, I have had the opportunity to organise various meetings and to bring the European Union closer to the Basque Country (and vice versa!). The best thing about it is definitely meeting people from other European cities who share the same concerns as you.
