Young People’s participation in European democratic processes
Voter turnout has been declining since the 1950s, posing a major challenge for democracies around the world. Various studies consistently show alarmingly low participation among young people at different levels and regions in all EU member states. The gap between younger and older voters has widened significantly in the democratic world, indicating low political participation among young people, not only in elections but also in institutional politics.
This workshop on the participation of young people in democratic processes in Europe, with political scientist Pablo Simón, will analyze how to improve and facilitate participation in the face of the next European elections in June.
The meeting will take place from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Aula Europa, headquarters of the European institutions in Barcelona (Paseo de Gracia, 90).
