The European Commission announced the five finalists of the #MySocialRights video competition. In a week, the winner will be selected based on the public vote.

The #MySocialRights video competition started in November 2021. Focusing on young people aged 18-30 living in the EU, it provided participants the opportunity to show their ideas and hopes for the future of social Europe and tell what social rights means to them in a form of a video-diary.

From the submitted entries, the jury selected the five finalists whose videos have been shared on Facebook. You can give a like or share your favourite video until 25 January, midnight. The winner will be the finalist with the most likes and shares.

Background

With the European Pillar of Social Rights, the European Commission aims to build a fairer and more inclusive European Union.

The 20 principles of the Pillar show the way towards a strong social Europe that is fair, inclusive and full of opportunity.

To help turn the principles into reality, the Commission is working to engage Europeans on social issues and increase awareness of social Europe.

In line with these goals, the #MySocialRights video competition aims to launch a conversation on social Europe and the European Pillar of Social Rights with the general public.
