CUBE. Your take on Europe is a social project aiming to create an inclusive participation channel for young people in Europe. CUBE wants all young people in Europe to envisage the future they want to live in. CUBE prioritises in gathering diverse young opinions, taking into account all kinds of discriminatory experiences that young people have and on which grounds they are excluded from political processes. CUBE overcomes this structural exclusion by reaching out to schools, where, to a certain age, all young people come together. This approach is complemented by a possibility to extend our concept to youth centres.
CUBE facilitates this process in three steps: it provides a workshop toolkit to be facilitated in all context youth engages in, it gathers and analyses the results of those workshops and advocates for them at the EU institutions.

Did you ever wonder why CUBE is called CUBE?
Our co-founder Verena Riedmiller aka Neno shares her thoughts about CUBEs journey and our vision for 2021!🔝
Dear CUBE community, friends and longstanding supporters,
In 2016, when four young freshly graduated women got together to change who in Europe is doing politics, we had one image in mind: a Rubik’s cube. This is how we wanted politics to be. Something which might look complex at times and gives you a headache but with which you will create colourful, diverse solutions. Something everyone puts their hands on and likes to play around with. Something everyone feels like wanting to put their mark on. Something where everyone can change the building blocks of our society one by one…
The CUBE illustrated our vision of young people understanding that they have the power to change politics for the better. From 2016 to 2020 we asked nearly 3.000 youngsters in 5 European countries to develop their demands on what needs to change in European politics in order to better their experience. Our Workshop Concept fulfilled our vision, as we shifted the youngsters’ perspective on themselves in having a say and having their experiences be valued in dialogue sessions with the invited politicians.
However, power is more than developing demands and presenting them to politicians. Power is organising your crowd to make sure your demand truly becomes reality. Power is knowing every day, even without a CUBE Workshop, that you have the power to make a difference.
So far, our CUBE Workshops were able to ignite discussion on topics and issues that have not always been brought to the table. However, we also realised through the workshops that in many ways young people feel powerless, meaning they do not feel that they are heard, and that they have the capacity to enable change...
