"Young Voices for Europe" is a week-long international youth exchange that brings together young people from Germany, France and Poland to creatively express their perspectives on Europe—through music, self-built instruments, and their own voices as symbols of identity and engagement.
Throughout the week, participants will take part in hands-on workshops, intercultural activities and collaborative music-making. They will build instruments from recycled materials, explore European values and youth participation, and co-write an original song about Europe that reflects their hopes for a diverse, united and youth-driven future.
The programme includes songwriting sessions, interactive EU workshops, cultural evenings and a final performance showcasing their self-made instruments and the jointly composed "Europe Song".
Expected outcomes include strengthened intercultural friendships, a deeper understanding of European issues, and a creative, musical statement for a democratic and inclusive Europe.

Participation in an international youth exchange at the European Youth Education Center Magdeburg is free of charge. Accommodation in shared rooms and full board are included. Underage participants are supervised by their team leaders or pedagogical staff of the EJBM.
In this creative and hands-on youth exchange, participants from different European countries will explore the meaning and importance of children’s rights. Through interactive workshops, games, roleplays, and city excursions, the group will learn how children can influence politics and public life.
Highlights include a simulation game called “Sleepy Ville”, a visit to the state parliament (Landtag), and meetings with local politicians. Participants will design their vision of a “perfect city for children,” develop their own Children’s Rights Agenda, and present it to real decision-makers in Magdeburg.
Evening activities such as an escape game, intercultural evenings, and a silent disco help build friendships and cultural understanding.
This project empowers young people to raise their voices and take an active role in shaping their society — because every voice matters.
