Descrição: projectYoung people are increasingly now involved in ‘alternative forms’ of participation,including youth activism, community volunteering, online activism or youth socialmovements such as the climate activism movement. Related to this shift, youth civilsociety is also in a time of transition, moving from being based around structuredhierarchical models of representation and participation to a more networked anddiverse sector.
At the same time, many youth civil society organisations are also raising concernsabout infringements on their freedom of association, assembly and expression, andwhat has been termed the ‘shrinking space for civil society’.
Across Europe, it is now necessary to consider how our democratic societiesrecognise and support a range of approaches to youth participation and engage adiverse range of young people in democratic life.
At the same time, it is still a concernthat many young people feel disconnected from our democratic structures andinstitutions, and there is an ongoing need to enable young people to participate indemocratic institutions and political structures both directly and indirectly. TheErasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps programmes further build upon this policybase by setting the objective of enhancing youth participation in democratic life.
