This report presents the outcomes of the YouthEUvision – Empowering Youth for a Stronger Europe project, focusing on a series of local workshops on democracy and active citizenship held across Europe. Co-funded by the European Union, the project brought together young people from diverse social, cultural, and geographical backgrounds to reflect on their role in democratic life and explore meaningful ways to engage at local, national, and European levels.
Between November 2024 and January 2025, eight workshops were organised in Germany, Greece, Italy, Spain, France, and Romania, involving more than 200 young participants. Each workshop was designed to respond to its local context while sharing a common objective: creating inclusive spaces where young people could learn, exchange perspectives, and actively participate in shaping democratic processes.
The report offers an overview of these workshops, documenting their approaches, themes, and experiences. It highlights how non-formal education, participatory methods, and youth-led dialogue can strengthen democratic engagement and foster a more inclusive and participatory Europe.
