Join us to celebrate 30 years of EU citizenship rights on November 28. From freedom of movement to the right to vote in European Parliament elections, we'll go over all the benefits that come with being an EU citizen in an engaging one-hour live show. Director of Rule of Law, Fundamental Rights and Democracy, DG Justice and Consumers, Julien Mousnier, will join to discuss EU citizenship rights and the EU’s future agenda. Other guests include Claire Morot-Sir, EU Rights Manager ECAS, and Angeliki Aristomenopoulou, Director of Citizen Europe. The event will combine in-depth interviews, entertainment, and audience interaction.

Throughout the event there will be a quiz to test your EU knowledge. And the winners will take away a prize! 2 tickets to attend the kick-off event of the 2024 European Youth Week in the European Parliament in Brussels, on 12 April 2024 including transport and accommodation, and one interrail pass.
