It is almost a truism that young people are not interested in politics and that it is almost impossible to reach them, but the student protests of recent years, the growth of student organisations and their public activity contradict this. The Republican Institute's youth conference will focus on young people's involvement in politics and their views on the recent European elections. The conference will also present the results of a new international research project which not only looked at the political activity of young people in Italy, Poland and Hungary, but also at the channels through which young people engage with public life.
In the international panel of our event, experts from the three countries involved in the research will present the results from their countries, followed by a round table discussion to analyse the data.
In the Hungarian part of the conference, youth researchers and representatives of youth organisations active in politics will talk about the political participation of young Hungarians.
