On 6-9 June 2024, 400 million Europeans were eligible to vote in the European Parliament’s elections. One month later, 47 million British adults could vote in the UK’s general election. While these elections will have changed much about how Britain and Europe are governed, they also have something to say about populism and the changes in public opinion right across Britain and the European continent, and above all for young people.
Join us on Friday 4th October, 2-4pm at Europe House, 32 Smith Square, Westminster, London SW1P 3EU for a free round-table event for A-level students.
Professors who research the politics of elections and young people will talk about their findings from these latest elections and take questions. The event is offered as a taster for any students thinking of applying to study Politics at university. Presenters include Professor Sara Hobolt (London School of Economics), Dr Miriam Sorace (University of Reading), Professor James Sloam (Royal Holloway, University of London) and the staff of the European Parliament Liaison Office in the United Kingdom.
