EU&U Hackathon 2023

We kindly invite you to participate in the second Hackathon of EU&U in collaboration with the European Parliament Liaison Offices in Dublin, Madrid, and Rome. The Hackathon will be held on March 3, 2023, in forms of hybrid events that will take place in three different EU Member States: Ireland (Dublin), Italy (Rome) and Spain (Madrid) simultaneously.

During the event, attendants will have a chance to exchange ideas on the proposed topics and to create a resolution for their national topic. Subsequently, a joint event with all the participants will be openly streamed via Zoom with open access through the Together.EU platform, in order to present the resolutions. The event will end with a joint resolution so that the groups from remote locations could formulate a common statement.

The aim of the project is to connect young people from the different EU Member States, to encourage their active and democratic participation, to increase the visibility of the European Parliament Liaison Offices.

Please note that the language in the first part of the event (national section) will be the local language, however, in the second part, all common interventions and the resolutions will be in English.

We hope that you will be able to participate in this occasion. In case you have questions please do not hesitate to contact us!
