Asking your opinion: Is Democracy Paying Attention to Young People?

Our survey wants to know the opinions of young adults (16-35) on democracy and participation: we would like to know if you think that democracy pays sufficient attention to young people in your country. Also, we wonder whether you think democratic politics helps to effectively solve young people’s main problems. And, what can we all do to empower young people?

The survey is part of the Citizens’ Action for Democracy (CitiDem) project (coordinated by the University of Bologna, with 11 civil society partners, and funded by the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values Programme (CERV) of the European Union).

The survey should take you more or less 15 minutes.

The results will be used in a strictly anonymous way, and will be considered in our assemblies and events the CitiDem project is organising in 2025 and 2026. And we hope to welcome you at (one of) these events!

Thank you very much!
