Strengthening Young People's Voices in our Democracy

Democracies thrive on the willingness of their citizens to participate in shaping their society. This willingness cannot be taken for granted; each new generation must have the chance to learn the proper functioning of democracy and must have the opportunity to become a vital part of society.

The best way to achieve this is for young people to experience democracy at an early age, to see that their voices count and that they have a chance to help shape society.
