Work alongside 21 educational institutions across Europe, with young people and underrepresented communities leading the research, not just participating in it.
Bring young people’s findings directly to power: structured dialogues and co-creation sessions with over 30 European policymakers, designed to translate community insight into real policy change.
Use Community-Led Research and Action (CLRA) to identify what’s broken in local democracies and build solutions from the ground up.
Create and test inclusive democratic spaces — community councils, forums, transnational exchanges — built to outlast the project itself.
Share what works: a scalable framework for inclusive democracy, developed with and for universities, communities, and policymakers across Europe.
Across partner universities and communities, we create and test spaces — councils, forums, transnational exchanges — where young people practise and shape democratic participation in real time.
Young people and their communities work as co-researchers — identifying challenges in their local democracies, designing solutions, and presenting findings to the people with the power to act on them.
Youth researchers engage directly with European policymakers, bringing community-led evidence into policy conversations at local, national, and EU level.
We develop and share practical tools — guides, training modules, and a scalable framework for inclusive democracy — so that what works in YOUROPE can travel far beyond it.
