Brussels, May 28, 2024 — The European Confederation of Independent Trade Unions (CESI) is proud to announce a crucial event, “Your Voice, Your Europe: The Time is Now,” focused on the significance of the upcoming European elections scheduled for June 6-9, 2024. This event will take place at the CESI premises in Brussels and will also be accessible online.

As the European elections approach, this timely debate will emphasise the importance of participation in the democratic process and highlight the impact of the European Union on citizens and workers across member states. The event aims to engage and inform voters about the critical role their votes play in shaping the future of Europe.

The programme features a series of insightful sessions:

• Part I: Why go vote? Europe ahead of the elections will underscore the reasons for participating in the elections and the importance of voter turnout.
• Part II: What EU added value? Spotlights from Member States will present perspectives from various member states, illustrating the EU’s benefits for citizens and workers.
• Part III: Demands of independent trade unions for the EU in 2024-2029 will introduce CESI’s EU 2024 elections manifesto and feature a discussion on the manifestos of key EU parties together with their representatives.

The event will conclude with statements from participants of CESI’s Exchange and Development Programme (WEP).

This WeEP24 event provides a unique opportunity for dialogue and reflection on the future direction of the EU. As Europe faces numerous challenges, from economic recovery to social justice, the upcoming elections present an opportunity for citizens to have their voices heard and contribute to a more united and resilient Europe.

Join us for this important discussion and make your voice heard in shaping the future of Europe.
