Youth Democracy projects aim to increase the active participation of young people in the life of their local, regional or national community or at international level by supporting their participation in international in representative democracy.
Projects funded under this Action allow the creation of new networks and the exchange and dissemination of good practice in the field of youth participation and citizenship. The idea therefore of a Youth Democracy project is to recognise and support the various forms in which young people participate in their own environment, to enhance their relations of representative democracy and to help them take advantage of the available opportunities for participation. This can be achieved by projects encouraging a greater participation of young people in the mechanisms of representative democracy.
