Politics concerns all of us. Political decisions taken today will influence your work, your opportunities, or your life tomorrow. Therefore it is necessary to understand how politics works and to know your own means of shaping and influencing politics.
EuroSoc offers innovative seminars and simulations dealing with all kinds of political processes.

The VoicE-project has been selected for the European eDemocracy Award

The VoicE-projekt, in which EuroSoc is one of the contributing partners, has been nominated for several awards: At the beginning of August, the project has received the "Good Practice Label" of the European Commission, making it a model platform for citizen participation in the EU. VoicE was also one of the finalists of the European eDemocracy Award and on the shortlist für die European Regional Champions Award.

How can citizens participate in European legislation more effectively and how can the distance to Brussels – which often appears to be far away – be reduced? The project “VoicE – Giving European People a VoicE in EU-legislation” addresses these questions. Within the framework of an eParticipation project of the European Union, project partners from three European countries have been working together on a consumer protection project since January 2008. We from EuroSoc have compiled the content for a citizens’ participation platform.

But not only the VoicE-project is well received: The follow-up project VoiceS is on its way. Our projekt-partners i-maginary will present the project on the 2010 Shanghai Expo.
