My growing interest in political communication and EU affairs led me to become a volunteer for Parliament in the #thistimeiamvoting and #together.eu campaign.
In order to raise awareness of the 2019 European elections, I gave public presentations of the campaign to the media and universities, set up awareness campaigns on the streets of the Canary Islands, and coordinated and supported other volunteers’ projects.
I joined as a volunteer in November 2018 and I have been an advocate for youth participation in politics ever since.
This campaign was an excellent opportunity to be proactive, so I helped to set up Equipo Europa and, with a peer, I co-founded the non-profit youth association Juventud Europea de Canarias.
I was honoured that the #70schuman campaign, to which I contributed by coordinating and hosting several events, was granted patronage of the European Parliament by former President David Sassoli.
Following Parliament’s European elections 2024 communication strategy, I am still trying to inform as many citizens as possible about this democratic process and engage them in it. I truly try to make the people around me understand the importance of voting and I firmly support #UseYourVote at the upcoming elections, not only to influence the EU’s future, but also to reinforce and safeguard democracy itself.
