Details:
As the European elections and national elections in various EU Member States approach, we take this opportunity to organise a seminar to look at the political and electoral participation of the young people through research findings, the share of existing practices and initiatives tackling the electoral participation of young people and the stimulation of cross-sector co-operation.
Aim:
To explore the causes of the low electoral participation of young people, identify and showcase different measures taken to entice young people into getting interested and involved in elections and enhance further cooperation on the topic.
Objectives:
• To understand the current electoral participation of young people (background, experiences, motivation, obstacles, …) through research findings and good examples of practice;
• To share local, national and European initiatives aiming to encourage young people to participate in elections, especially first-time voters and help them make informed choices;
• To explore the role of social media in supporting young people’s participation in electoral processes;
• To stimulate and reinforce co-operation among participants.
The seminar will be based on the principles and values of non-formal learning/education taking into account participants’ experiences. A diversity of working methods will be used to highlight the causes of low electoral participation of young people, identify the measures taken to encourage young people into getting interested in elections and enhance further cooperation on the topic. To ensure a balance between theory and practice, a range of workshops, inputs, simulation exercises, presentations, discussions, debate and sharing will be included.
