Political Festival of Europe 2022 is happening now

7 themes

Political Festival of Europe 2022 is shaped by seven themes: business, climate, culture, democracy, foreign policy, health and technology.

The town of Mariager itself will accordingly be divided into seven zones, in which you will find specialized tents and events surrounding these themes. In addition to the seven zones, we will have three thematic stages which will host debates, talks and hearings with our manyfold speakers, within each and every one of our selected themes.

The themes have been carefully selected according to European political agendas and their global importance.

What do people say about us?

We will build a stronger community across European nations and citizens through the Political Festival of Europe.

I look forward to taking an active part in debates in August 2022 with my fellow EU parliamentarians and I find it very inspiring, the way it is designed to engage the public. Next year I can listen, contribute and take a lot of inspiration for my future work in developing the European Union.

I find it extremely encouraging and interesting to be able to participate in a political debate on the future of Europe across borders. This is the true way in developing the European Union with a European outreach.
