One year ago, a group of young Europeans gathered around a shared mission: fighting youth abstention ahead of the upcoming 2024 EU elections. They envisioned an engaging digital tool aimed at tackling disaffection, mininformation and polarization.

In a matter of months, they secured the support of civil society organizations and foundations to make it happen. Over 120 volunteers in all EU-27 member states contributed to make the first youth-oriented truly European Voting Advice Application, available in 20+ languages.

It became the #1 most-downloaded app in the App Stores for its category in many European countries. More than 170k first-time voters used it, generating 5 million answers to questions on European politics, economy, climate or migration.

This is our story, and we want to keep writing it. For this reason, the Palumba EU Association is growing towards its next steps and we seek your support, guidance and effort to keep making a difference for millions in the European civic space. Are you joining?

Enthusiastically,

The team behind Palumba EU
