Graduation project
Kitchen Sink Politics
Nicoleta Pana
"Many people don’t know what the EU does, even though it seriously affects their lives."
WHAT
An online platform that introduces a new way of discussing international politics. By telling entertaining stories about everyday situations and comparing those to what is happening with the EU, the subject becomes more accessible to a larger audience.
WHY
Political jargon scares many people off. At kitchensinkpolitics.nl a new vocabulary is introduced to involve those who feel politics is not for them.
HOW
Relatable metaphors bring Europe to life: what if Estonia were a young woman living across the hall from a grumpy old man named Russia? Or if your country is a student at the supermarket checkout, coming a Euro short? Once the story grabs you, the accompanying links take you further into the subject.
