Youth satisfaction with democracy is declining across many established democracies. But what does this really mean and what is behind the data?
This June, we are bringing together youth-led organizations from across Canada and the EU for the first time to collaboratively explore these questions. Drawing on cross-Atlantic experiences, community knowledge, and youth expertise, participants will work together to develop shared policy recommendations for strengthening democratic engagement. These recommendations will be shared with policymakers and will also help lay the groundwork for future collaboration and shared advocacy across the Atlantic.
Over the next two weeks, we will be spotlighting the youth organizations involved to highlight the important work they do. We invite you to follow along, learn from these organizations, and join us in recognizing youth-led organizations as essential partners in strengthening democracy.
Thank you to the delegation of European Union in Canada for supporting this work.
