Utökad information om evenemanget

While democracy faces global setbacks—with V-Dem warning that we are back to the democratic standards of 1985—young people across Europe and its neighbourhood are stepping up. From Serbia and Turkey to Georgia, thousands of young citizens are leading mass protests, demanding accountability, transparency, and justice. If every generation must reclaim democracy, Generation Z is already on the frontlines. But what do they need to succeed? How can institutions, civil society, and international partners support their efforts to build inclusive, just, and democratic societies? And just as importantly, what are the risks if we don’t? Welcome to join the conversation to explore how we can respond to Gen Z’s call for democratic renewal—and help ensure they don’t fight this battle alone.
