In the European Union, democracy may seem obvious to us today. But this has not always been the case. Not so long ago, millions of Europeans lived through times when they could not vote or even speak up freely. When their very lives could be in danger simply for being different, for holding different beliefs or for wanting a different life. Democracy is a precious gift passed on to us from previous generations. They aspired towards it and fought for it. Now it is up to us to maintain it, to make it stronger and pass it on to the generations to come. The most effective way to do so is by voting - because the more people vote, the stronger democracy becomes. On June 6-9 2024: Use your vote or others will decide for you.

The video game ecosystem has become a leading cultural and creative industry all over the world. It has an estimated European market size of EUR 23.3 billion in 2021, and it encompasses more than 4 900 game studios and 200 game publishers, with great potential for growth, innovation, creativity and triggering positive change for the whole sector.

Video games have proven to be a powerful cross-sectoral medium, successfully inspiring and drawing on many other creative and cultural industries, such as films and books. According to the Interactive Software Federation of Europe, half of all Europeans consider themselves to be video game players, of whom almost half are women, and the average age of a video game player in Europe is 31.3 years. Over 70 % of young people aged 6-24 in the EU play video games, although the majority of players are over 18.

On January 2023,&nbsp;Parliament called for gamers to be better protected from addiction and other manipulative practices, while emphasising the potential of this innovative sector.

Wanneer een bericht op sociale media overspoeld wordt met agressieve reacties, is er mogelijk sprake van een campagne om het zwijgen op te leggen.

Het tot zwijgen brengen van kritische stemmen is een veelvoorkomende manier om ons te manipuleren. De personen die erachter zitten hopen dat hun doelwitten bang worden om zich uit te spreken en dat standpunten die hen niet liggen uit het publieke debat verdwijnen.

Bekijk onze video om te zien hoe dit in zijn werk gaat en wat je eraan kunt doen.

The European Parliament commemorates Holocaust Remembrance Day to honor the victims and reflect on the lessons of the past. Established in 1995, this annual event coincides with the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau on 27 January 1945. This year, the Parliament highlights the story of Hungarian-born cellist Pál Hermann, who was murdered in the Holocaust. His Gagliano cello, saved from the Nazis and rediscovered decades later, symbolizes resilience and the enduring power of art. The ceremony includes a speech by Hermann’s daughter, Corrie Hermann, and a performance of his music by cellist Sam Lucas. Through remembrance and education, the European Parliament reaffirms its commitment to fighting anti-Semitism, promoting tolerance, and ensuring such atrocities are never repeated.

Soms willen de mensen achter desinformatie enkel verwarring en twijfel zaaien.

Ze overspoelen de sociale media dan met allerlei tegenstrijdige versies van dezelfde gebeurtenis, niet om ons ergens van te overtuigen maar om een algemeen gevoel van wantrouwen en desinteresse te creëren.

Bekijk deze video van de experts van het Europees Parlement en leer de dreiging te herkennen en tegen te gaan.

Ben je ooit een discussie uit de weg gegaan omdat de toon te agressief was en jouw mening verloren leek te gaan tussen allerlei extreme opmerkingen?

Dat gebeurt meestal als de extreemste standpunten kunstmatig worden gestimuleerd.

Door het debat te polariseren, willen de verspreiders van desinformatie ons doen geloven dat de verschillen die tussen ons bestaan veel groter zijn dan ze eigenlijk zijn. Zo wordt het moeilijk om tot compromissen en oplossingen te komen.

Bekijk deze video om te zien hoe dit in zijn werk gaat en hoe je kunt voorkomen dat je in die val trapt.
