Galaxy Europe - Discover a different European Universe!
 | Did you ever imagine that the European Parliament could become an intergalactic space station, that MEPs were not mere voices representing citizens but galactic heros saving the European Universe from instability and leading it boldly were no one has never been before... |
If you are on the side of the believers (or even sceptics), this campaign might interest you...
 | So what is all this fuss about? | During two and a half months, JEF-Europe organised an interactive campaign to promote the Members of the European parliament (MEP) and ultimately bring the work of the European parliament closer to the young citizens.
25 MEPs under 35 years old and from different political groups and nationalities were checked on www.galaxy-europe.net by thousands of young Europeans.
Every week, MEPs were asked to present themselves and answer questions on EU related issues such as the enlargment, consitutional treaty or transregionalism. From there on, young Europeans had the oportunity to comment on the answers and vote for their favourite MEP of the week.
After six weeks, only few passed the second tour and entered the sacred week of the finals. A new round of questions determined which was the Best young MEP 2006.
