Report
This Joint Assessment Report - Final results on the level of awareness, gaps in knowledge, and barriers to participation amongst young people in civic democratic life and decision-making processes in Italy, France, Cyprus and Lithuania explores the current state of youth civic knowledge and engagement within the framework of the ParticipACTION project.
More than 600 young people, aged 16 to 23, both EU nationals and Third-Country Nationals, as well stakeholders from migrant-, women- and youth-led organizations, local and national institutions and consortium partners actively contributed to this assessment by responding to a multi-country survey, and/or taking part in 21 Focus Groups Discussions, eight interactive seminars, and seven national roundtables held and organized in Italy by IRC Italia and Glocal Factory; in France by PLACE Network; in Cyprus by Generation For Change and in Lithuania by MANO Europa during 2024 and 2025, concluded during the transnational online workshops and the in-person workshop organized in Verona.
This Report analyzes all the data and insights collected and analyzed and complements it with desk research results. This Report also includes recommendations from young people from four EU countries on how to increase youth civic engagement at a national and EU level. During the subsequent phases of the project, young participants will further shine a light on their proposed solutions for improving access, inclusivity, and representation in democratic decision-making processes.
