😵💫 UK has wealthy Europe’s ‘third-highest’ rate of young adults not in work or study
Yesterday, we ran another experiment in the EU Democracy Campus.
Young people from different countries entered the same virtual space to test what happens when participation has an architecture: rooms for memory, debate, crisis, reflection, and imagining what comes next.
The most interesting part was not the VR.
It was watching democracy become something young people could practise together.

At its April 2026 plenary session, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) adopted an exploratory opinion on EU competitiveness and youth entrepreneurship. Requested by the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the EU, the opinion sets out how supporting young entrepreneurs can strengthen innovation, foster sustainable growth and help secure the future of Europe’s SMEs.
📝 Plot: A group of young adults navigate love, friendship, desire, and emotional confusion in contemporary Paris. Through intersecting relationships and intimate encounters, the film explores loneliness, sexual freedom, and the search for affection with humor, melancholy, and social observation characteristic of late 1970s French cinema.
