Many say that young people do not participate enough in society – or not in the right way?

According to the Partispace project this observation starts from a too narrow understanding of participation that does not take into account what is important for young people.

We therefore ask where young people participate because we think that it may happen in other places than expected by adults and institutions.

We ask how they participate because we think that there are many other forms than voting, being members of associations or involvement in youth councils.

And we want to understand what participation means for young people.

What do they think from official possibilities of participation and what activities are really relevant for them?
