“Pimp my Europe” creates a dialogue between youths and politicians, for them to collaborate on the future of Europe. In this project, youths deal with the topics of human rights, democracy, and European citizenship. They will then discuss their insights and perspectives with politicians, and give impulses for future political strategies. On the one hand, youths seemingly enstranged from politics should be inspired by political participation, on the other hand, politicians should get to know the perspectives of youths, and be persuaded of working together with youths. “Pimp my Europe” is a project of the International Association for Education and Exchange (IBB e.V.). It is realised in cooperation with the following partner organisations: ParkHaus Oberhausen, Werkstatt-Berufskolleg Unna, EJB Weimar, Roots & Routes Cologne e.V, Jugendamt der Stadt Bochum.  “Pimp my Europe” is realised as part of the “Structured Dialogue” and is funded by the European programme erasmus+ YOUTH IN ACTION.
