What does democracy look like for young people in Europe today, and how do we actually participate in shaping it? In "YOUth Got a Point", we explore one big question per episode about youth participation, activism, and decision-making across Europe. From volunteering to voting and grassroots initiatives to EU politics, we unpack how young people engage with democracy and where we feel heard. Expect honest conversations, personal stories, light debates, and voices from across the continent, sometimes in the studio, sometimes on the streets.

  • Ep. 4: Where does the EU end?
    Jun 28 2026

    Where does the European Union actually end?

    In this episode, Florina and Yannic explore one of the biggest questions shaping Europe’s future: EU enlargement. From Ukraine, Moldova, and the Western Balkans to Iceland and even Canada, they discuss what defines the European Union today and who gets a seat at the table.

    They also unpack Germany and France’s new proposal for “gradual integration” asking whether becoming closer to the EU before full membership is a smart solution or a risky one.

    This is not your usual formal conversation, just honest reflections, a bit of debate, and questions many young Europeans are already asking themselves.

    And of course, one big question:

    Where does the European Union end, and who should decide?

  • Ep. 3: Does studying abroad make youth more European?
    Apr 19 2026

    Does studying abroad make youth feel more European?

    In this episode, Florina and Yannic are joined by their first guest, Oana, to talk about how studying abroad with scholarships such as Erasmus+ and Erasmus Mundus shapes identity, perspectives, and engagement with democracy. Does living in another country change the way we see ourselves? And are these opportunities accessible to everyone?

    This is not your usual formal conversation, just honest reflections and personal stories from three young people who have studied abroad at some point in their lives.

    And of course, one big question:

    Does studying abroad change the way we see Europe and ourselves?

  • Ep. 2: Does youth voting even make a difference anymore?
    Mar 15 2026

    Does youth voting even make a difference anymore? Or can activism replace it?

    In this episode, we dive into one of the biggest debates among young people today: is voting still the most powerful way to shape democracy? Why is the voting turnout of young people lower than that of others, and why do we actually vote? We unpack why many young people feel disconnected from the ballot box and why voting might still matter more than we think.

    This is not your usual political conversation, just honest reflections, a bit of debate, and one big question: If young people stop voting, who decides our future?
