right in the middle of a windstorm. stormy times for europe. that volunteers are trying to get young people to vote in the upcoming european election . just the way all of europeans part of the e.u. would like a family member of us are spanked by my dad's french and my mom's german so europe is really important to me as we head for you with other games and. this a vent is part of an e.u. parliament effort to get out the voters it's called this time i'm voting volunteers consign up on a website. to one book a song begin on we want to get out into the streets and explain to people why this election matters and it's. more than 250000 volunteers stroll out europe have already registered the parliament provides information procedures and other materials but unfortunately no one bella's.

bother to do something. like. this are you going to vote no for europe why not don't know how come on at least think about it you know it's a please please vote when you vote why no it's pointless why it's no use come on. the volunteers don't discuss issues they just want people to vote might not want you should be proud that you can vote for concrete a team dismissed me as the political parties are responsible for addressing specific issues. i have to remain absolutely neutral because it's union card companies kinds of campaigns really get out the vote research a class cruel man is an expert on how young people think and behave. up.

must be very not i have my doubts about a general sort of campaign. young people will vote in european elections only if the campaign addresses specific issues that are important to them but does so with the politicians want more young people to vote they'll have to talk about those issues. this one of the volunteers is deanna live and she's a star on you tube an instagram and since the european concept is important for young people. in the same time it's i think it's totally important to show that in the united europe we can have more innovation and opportunity especially for young people. that like it has more influence than individual countries continents or powerful corporations have unfair and. for 16 years now has been posting photos and videos on the internet.

i shoot most of my videos in my bedroom i like that homey feeling because it brings you closer to the viewers who are. deanna has more than 600000 you chewed subscribers she usually talks about fashion and cosmetics at the cons welcome to a new video today i'm going to talk about a topic close to my hut center and i. guess is this is my favorite right now. yeah i like this and not it's not floor length your legs may get cold i think. deanna has turned into a profession for cosmetics and fashion companies pay her to promote their products and videos so they can reach a final was. good comes from the so you do politics now you have. to i'm sort of a role model and i have a community that i can exchange ideas with. that. what i'm into politics now so i

wanted to share that there was this at a time so i was sure you guys today indiana is in brussels the e.u. parliament has invited several internet influences to campaign on behalf of europe . have a. talk with us here and friends in how to i hope they'll create some nice content and post it online and maybe that we have their followers interested in europe and the upcoming election why. not. move on from how about interconnected your. networks that's it. do young people take the e.u. for granted because they don't know what the all the jew replies like to find out more about that we travel to the news.

these young people are part of the erasmus student exchange program they come from all over europe. it comes from fellow austria like england i'm from musselman i'm from belgium from london from swabian. move the 9000000 students have taken part in the arrest most program since it began in 1970. 4 to be all europeans are different but they're also connected and that's really beautiful and this is a drop issue i think it's really important to meet people from different cultures because it's a broad it's your perspective we go by this over time we've become more european than german i've seen that here and it surprised me it's really getting out of. the us most stuff believe that the organization has changed the way that young people look to europe for the better. erasmus's the most successful program

of the you are that you can spout from statistics and magic from everything and it really works you have creating ass and so belonging to the e.u. and then off duty and responsibility towards the us citizens lasting friendships and about a quarter of the arrests most students meet their long term partner on the exchange it's been said that there are over $1000000.00 never as most babies but the program can only go so far. so. as much as we try to prepare europeans for a european future we also have to realize that the middle classes can be quite nationalistic and that's true for all countries this is. where on the road again this time we're headed for the heart of european politics brussels. this is m.p.

team of vulcan the german social democrat is just and she 31 of the youngest members of the european parliament he's trying to reach young people with his you tube channel what have they provide and welcome to another episode of wednesday myths we recommend. and welcome to sorry on with your why did you choose you tube. by you mention that because young people watch it for information and entertainment. there are other platforms and your habits can change but right now you tube is the place to be the place to be one and then again ladies and gentlemen welcome to our press conference the 1st question please. his ego to blame we abolished roaming charges. did some european commission bureaucrat decide that cucumber should look like this. and not like this i'm confident i got my voting card there is the voting machine and now we're going

to take a roll call vote let's do it the pencil old m.p.'s may think this is silly. they did at the start. i did walk through the room with a video camera and record my reports. some people looked at me like i was crazy. but these videos get results. and these days no one seems to mind. now we're headed for a session of the legal affairs committee today they're going to vote on a topic that a lot of young people are interested in because our plimer a vote them and is relaxed. you're in the minority. so that now the legal committee is going to vote on the e.u.'s controversial internet copyright legislation social media uses

a dead set against the proposal. quotes as with in short this law is going to strangle the internet in a way that we couldn't have imagined in our worst nightmares at least i have toiled and could then take away the content freedom that lets me do my job. aren't every day lives would be totally screwed. it's a gotcha. article 13 is designed to protect copyrighted material and block illegal content at least that's what the bills all thought axel vos says but opponents are concerned that some legal content could also be banned. one comes near to going down you can draft regulations for this and we should. but if young europeans decide that this legislation is ruining an important part of their lives. then we're making a huge mistake and dividing in many ways it's

a clash between generations vulcan provides his followers with updates via instagram. next we'll travel to grace where a lot of young people can't find jobs. the last 10 years have been tough for grace as the country dealt with a devastating economic crisis the situation has improved a little but musa unemployment still stands at just under 40 percent. he's moving to get out and put on the stark from the younger generation is always hit hard by such crises a lot of people who already have jobs can make it through somehow. but there just aren't any new jobs for young people who now have to work.

mismanagement tax evasion corrupt relates crushing national debt and then the global financial crisis. the e.u. provided financial rescue packages in return greece had to slash government spending but a lot of the european aid money went to the big bang. next many greeks lost their jobs and pensions taxes saud poverty and deprivation has become rampant here. this is the german school in athens almost all of the students are great most of them come from well to do families but they're still worried about whether they'll be able to find a job after they graduate. you know i think i've lost faith. i'm afraid for the future will i be able to work here in greece

i have no idea but even these things are a mess in greece right now maybe life is better in other countries. many students feel they'll have to leave the country to find a job that includes a lanie kind of molly. come didn't really here for you i would stay here i would i like living in the afghans there's a good university here but i won't be able to find a job after i graduate so i'll have to move to another european country. that's and . we visit a nice family a child her mother works as an interpreter and her father is an architect. during the economic crisis the family had to sell the house and move into an apartment. by the parents refused to cut back on the children's education and. do this for them to buy the king we wanted them to continue their studies that's why we sold

the house. we set priorities we thought it was more important for the children to have a good education than to keep the house. and how. many does have to move to another country to find work she will but she'd like to come back to greece eventually. if unemployment is still high 5 years from now i'll have to stay away. so it all depends on the economy. i have no say in the matter. now. more than $500000.00 graves more than 4 percent of the population have already left the country many of them are young and well educated. the bindu. education is expensive both for the government and for families so people are spending all this money and these highly qualified people will go off to another country to find

a job other countries benefit from them not us. that's a real problem. as it should and probably. we try to talk to some students about that. says we have to ask this something. then a protest march comes down the street we don't speak greek so we can't read what's on the banners it turns out that the demonstrators are upset about poor conditions in the hospitals as the result of e.u. ordered budget cuts. i wouldn't want greece in the european union not to because i don't like it because some of the measures i went probably means that they are not with the people there with the money the european union is not going in with solidarity it's a capitalist union. many on the greek left a critical of the a you in 2015 the new left wing prime minister and accessed suppress called

a referendum on whether greece should accept new bailout conditions set by brussels 61 percent of voters said no but their voice remained heard. a huge finance ministers worked out a new deal they demanded even more austerity from greece which had a severe impact on the country's economy. i'm glad it's the same when the. these measures did fiddle damage to the greeks perception of democracy. and i believe this was the moment when people across southern europe especially young people started to turn against the e.u. . and thus had opened. on you the minute that i want to be at the demonstration we meet d. in china she's 28 and has a degree in marketing but right now she's working at a supermarket for listen for euros an hour we asked whether she's worried about the future of. africa as i know that hearing this i don't have it.

and china does not want to leave her country but the austerity measures have hit greek young people hard. we always have to pay for you personally i feel angry i feel that this so unfair i pay something good out to my parents and so many times this say our better minds going now so it's hope they call this the fall in greece because of the budget cuts imposed by brussels many like china have lost their faith in the european union. from the beginning i was so looking sagal wow we are all together. there is so fake there is a fake. and their face mask was economical you know in order to. heal peoples in the back of the most people.

now we're headed off to put a paste. hungry has traditionally felt close ties to europe but for several years now it's euro skeptic right when government has been a thorn in the side of the. i think the. utopian union is a good idea on its own but i think their countries there should stand strong on their own we in hungary are not in their position in the european union it's a good thing that we are trying to be mostly karcher or. in some points it's risky for. smaller countries in the european union to man. up the famous heroes square we made victor noise about. his.
