Description

Bite the Ballot aims to inspire young people to speak up and be a part of the decisions that directly affect them. The message is clear: “Don’t wait for someone else to make changes for the better – make the changes yourself. We have a direct voice to the people that make the decisions… we can’t change the system but we can change the outcome! Join us, have your say, it’s our future!”. Bite the Ballot believes in the power of the ballot box and the ability for one person to make a difference. They are giving creatives the chance to have their work displayed in the European Parliament.
