The S&Ds are coming to the Political Festival of Europe - a four-day democracy festival that serves as a platform for European political and societal debates and discussions, along with an authentic experience of European culture and heritage.
Taking place in the historic town of Mariager in Northern Jutland, Denmark, the Political Festival of Europe is a unique opportunity for you to make your voice heard and for partners to access a pan-European audience. Find out more about the event: https://www.pfoe.org
The S&Ds will have a stand throughout the festival and will also participate in the debates and events going on. We look forward to seeing you there!
