We are pleased to invite you to a two-day event aimed at strengthening young people’s participation in democratic life through deliberative practices. The event is designed to emphasize the crucial role of the upcoming European elections in shaping the democratic landscape, while acknowledging the achievements and persistent challenges that Europe faces today.

Organized by the Intercultural Dialogue Platform in collaboration with partners from the Citizen Z project, Stand Up for Europe, and in partnership with the European Parliament, the event strives to achieve two main objectives: firstly, to analyse and deliberate on the preliminary findings resulting from the second rounds of deliberative practices within the EU-funded Citizen Z project, covering Croatia, Italy, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
Secondly, it seeks to facilitate an inclusive dialogue among young individuals, activists, policy experts, and fact-checkers, addressing prevalent challenges to European democracies while also exploring actionable solutions to shape the future of Europe in the run-up to the European elections.
