our voices heard and contribute to the decision-making processes .
Current and future generations should thus familiarise themselves with these memories of the European elections , to better understand the importance of participatory democracy and the role that we , as individuals , play in shaping our future . This civic engagement and the lessons from the past can then help us to make informed decisions when going to vote . We should , therefore , stay informed and invest time in our democracy , but also take the time to safeguard and share these memories with others .
