Stories about Youth Participation

The second Summit for Democracy has given a prominent place to youth civic and political participation, but there is still significant work to be done to engage governments in proactively and tangibly addressing and prioritizing youth-related concerns. 

To do this… we’ve found nothing better than to ask several organisations to share their know-how on ways to improve Youth Participation in Public Affairs. This series of videos was shot during the last Democracy Summit in Costa Rica and Zambia in March 2023.

🎥 Fist episode on Youth Participation success stories 🌟 The Youth Democracy Cohort is proud and happy to present the first video on Youth Participation. For this first episode, we asked these organisations to share something they are proud of. (about the work they are doing on Youth Participation, obviously) When we say inspiring, we're not lying 🤩.
