Happy Voting!
From Saturday to Wednesday this week, #HappyVoting came to life as more than 60 people from all over Europe danced to the famous song “Happy” by Pharrell Williams.
Supported by the League of Young Voters, the campaign is based on Pharrell William’s ‘Happy Formula’, which incorporates a selection of non-actors who separately dance to the catchy billboard song. The European remake includes scenes in different famous locations of Brussels and the European Parliament. The campaign aims at getting young people excited and involved in the European Elections in May by using their two favourite channels: entertainment and the internet.
Through the combination of a professional production studio and a well-strategised content plan that includes over fifty diverse filming locations, sixty actors, celebrities, politicians from across the political spectrum, and support from Pharrell Williams Production Company I AM OTHER, the video is expected to prove an instant success.
Look out for the video when it goes live on 28th March. We hope you will support the campaign and like and share the video!

It begins where curiosity meets courage: with the desire to explore, try, make mistakes, improve and create something new. It is precisely this vision of education that has shaped one of the key directions of the European Youth Capital 2025 programme, as well as the new Lviv youth strategy, which will guide the municipality’s work on youth in the years to come.
