The European Commission recently invited young people to a party at the Metaverse. According to reports, only six people showed up.
The European Commission held an online event a few days ago. Apparently, the plan was to get young people between the ages of 18 and 35 excited about the EU with the interactive celebration. Like Devex correspondent Vince Chadwick on twitter reported, only six people turned up for the Metaverse celebration (via: Politico).

According to Chadwick, the official trailer for the event had 44 likes on Twitter just before the start. 38 of them decided that they had something better to do.
As Devex writes, the EU spent a total of 387,000 euros building the Metaverse platform. A spokesman told the platform that the event was intended to give younger people, who are mainly active on Twitter and Instagram, an understanding of what the EU is doing on the “international stage”.
