UK young voters are not anti EU they just don’t understand it

Authors discuss a project called, ‘Me and EU’ to place accessible, timely and peer reviewed information about the EU in the hands of young people with just one click.

This project aims to pool together existing information and create a one-stop-shop to encourage young voters in the UK to engage in EU affairs by creating an understanding of how Europe influences their daily lives and by connecting them to other young people interested to talk and share ideas on the referendum.
