My future Europe - wishlist balloons
On 27 May 2025, young people, NGO representatives, project partners, politicaly interested, and educational multipliers from across Europe gathered at the Bruno Kreisky Forum in Vienna for the First International Event and Kick-off Meeting of the FREI project. As a symbolic act to launch the initiative, participants released over 50 balloons into the sky — each carrying a personal wish for the future of Europe.
These wish cards, written in English and one of the partner languages, reflect individual hopes and values connected to human rights and non-discrimination, democracy, gender equality, peace, and European integration. These messages may travel far and spark dialogue beyond national boundaries. Each balloon carries a vision for the future, as well as an invitation to join the conversation.
