About

YOUROPE works with young people and their communities across Europe to make democracy more inclusive, more relevant, and more theirs. Through community-led research and action, we help underrepresented young people move from the margins to the centre of decisions that shape their lives.

Purpose

To make European democracy work for everyone — especially those who have been shut out of it. YOUROPE creates real pathways for young people to influence policy, drive change, and be taken seriously.

Vision

A Europe where every young person, regardless of background, has a genuine stake in the decisions that affect them.
