EURYKAÌý-ÌýReinventing Democracy in Europe: Youth Doing Politics in Times of Increasing InequalitiesÌýwas aÌýcross-national research projectÌýwhich provided systematic and practice-related knowledge aboutÌýhow inequalities mediate youth political participation. It suggested novel democratic models to help reimagine a more inclusive European politics. EURYKA brought together researchers and civil society practitioners from nine European countries: France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

With the aim of strengthening European democratic life, the project intended to reach a better understanding of the conditions, processes, and mechanisms underpinning how young people do politics: how do they form opinions and take actions to bring about social and political change?

At the core of EURYKA’s conceptual framework was the idea of youth political participation as a form of coping mechanism for dealing with inequalities. We thus investigated the norms, values, attitudes and behaviors underpinning such mechanisms and how these relate to issues such asÌýdemocracy, power, politics, policy-making, social and political participation (online and offline) and the organization of economic, social and private life.

The EURYKA project was concluded in January 2020.
