The Words of Europe project is coming to a close, and we are excited to invite you to our final event. This open event, titled "The Language of Participation: Art and Politics for Intersectional Voices in the EU," will be a powerful platform for discussing how we can better engage and amplify marginalized voices across Europe.

Roundtable Discussion: Enhancing EU Participation Through Intersectionality

At the heart of the conference will be a Roundtable Discussion, featuring representatives from leading civil society organizations and project partners. These experts will share strategies and experiences on how to ensure that voices from marginalized communities—those often invisible or discriminated against—are heard and included in EU decision-making processes.

Speakers from Civil Society Organizations and Project Partners:

• Arci Solidarietà - Benedetta Giuliani: Reconnecting stories, spaces, and languages through the experience of involvement in Italian schools and artistic residencies.
• La Ligue de l’Enseignement: Laughing about European politics to take it seriously – exploring immersive theater experiences that challenge citizens on their expectations of the European Parliament.
• Mandragola - Luca Lovisetto: Connecting Europe through Media Literacy, Radio, and Art – reflections on the Words of Europe project.

External Participants:

We are also reaching out to a number of key players in the field of civil society for participation in this discussion, including:

• ENAR (European Network Against Racism)
• European Youth Forum
• European Disability Forum
• ILGA Europe
• Civil Society Europe – Martina Corti

Artistic Showcase: A Highlight of the Event

To close the event, we will be showcasing artistic works from the Words of Europe Exhibition, offering a glimpse into the creative outcomes of this impactful project. These works provide a visual representation of the many voices, stories, and experiences that have been brought together throughout the journey of Words of Europe.
