The 3rd edition of the World Forum for Democracy “From participation to influence: can youth revitalise democracy?” will take place in Strasbourg, 3 – 5 November 2014.
In this edition of the World Forum, the organizers wish to invite young people to make concrete proposals for “real democracy”.
They want young people to get away from problems, limitations and frustrations related to dysfunctioning democratic systems and to take a solution-oriented approach.
They want participants to DREAM DEMOCRACY, to reinvent new forms of democratic societies, to bring in their ideas, experiences and visions in order to develop prototypes for new democracies.
300 young participants will be selected by the European Youth Foundation in order to ensure a strong youth dimension during the Forum.
Working language
The common working language of the event will be English. Candidates must be able to use English independently in order to be able to work and communicate efficiently.
