Change starts with us, Young people’s ideas on the future of Europe
Despite making up 25% of the European population, young people face many barriers that prevent them from having a say in their future. Whether it’s a lack of opportunities, representation or knowledge of effective advocacy, they are left without ways to share their voices and make the changes they want to see in the world. In particular, young people with fewer opportunities, belonging to a marginalised group or a minority, face even greater challenges regarding participation. Consequently, this can result in a society where many are not represented and where
the rights of the youth are not respected.
