What does Volt stand for?
By promoting cooperation across generations and borders, we shape a European story of positive politics. Our approach transcends national boundaries as we draw inspiration from best European practices, including Utrecht's cycling infrastructure, Barcelona's urban planning and Vienna's affordable housing model.

The 5+1 Challenges
Volt has defined 5+1 fundamental Challenges that need to be tackled in each European country and in Europe as a whole.
Why 5 + 1 Challenges?
The 5 Challenges are basically the same for every country, but their implementation can be adapted on the national level to take into account local realities.
The +1 Challenge – our proposal to reform and strengthen the EU – is identical across all our national programmes.
