BRUSSELS | November 6, 2026
UNITED SIKHS was represented at the European event “Who Shapes European Democracy? Strengthening the Political Participation of People with a Migrant Background”, held at the Royal Flemish Theatre (KVS) in Brussels on September 10, 2026.
Organised as part of the Citizenship Academy project, the event brought together civil society organisations, community representatives and other stakeholders to explore the participation and representation of people with migrant backgrounds in Europe’s democratic processes.
Representing UNITED SIKHS, Bhagvir Singh participated in discussions focused on the importance of ensuring that diverse communities and lived experiences are reflected in political decision-making, including the right to wear the Dastar and Hijab in EU legal identification documents.
The event also presented the European Decalogue of Recommendations, outlining key recommendations to strengthen political participation and inclusion across Europe.
UNITED SIKHS welcomed the opportunity to contribute to this important European conversation and to connect with organisations and individuals working to build more inclusive, representative and participatory societies.
UNITED SIKHS remains committed to empowering communities, promoting equality and ensuring that marginalised and underrepresented voices are heard.
