Description

This year, Cafébabel is going to 7 different European cities for their new feature report “EU too”. Following on from Budapest in September and Madrid in October, they will be heading to the delightful city of Krakow from the 25-29 November 2015.

For their next feature report, EU too, cafébabel is going to meet the disenchanted youth of Europe. Who are these young people, contesting European consensus and leaving it behind in favour of alternative ideas? Why do they feel badly represented? What is it that they want to change? What are they hoping for in the future? In order to answer these questions, you will meet and interview them in their own cities and neighborhoods.

Your role

The objective will be to listen to the voices of these young people to include them in the European debate. They are expecting a youth-friendly and off-the-wall tone, as well as an original and innovative style. Spend time with the locals, describe what you see, feel and learn from them. Tell your story in a creative and personal way, backed up with facts, statistics and verifiable sources.
