International Democracy Project - Young European Politics

Young European Politics; Say YEP to democracy!

This Youth International Democracy Project involves young representatives from Shetland (Scotland), Norway, Greece and Lithuania.

The work started on in June 2009. The young representatives had to come up with an idea for a project which young people in our regions would get involved with. We had a brain storm about democracy, and decided we would put all these ideas on a website. Our idea is to produce a website which will include information about democracy in a few countries around Europe, the history of democracy and a 'bulletin board' which young people can share their views. From this website, we hope to produce a leaflet which will contain opinions from the 'bulletin board' and how politicians feel about this. These ideas are not set in stone and still may change, but to date, this is the plan.

AIM: The aim is to increase youth political activity, because politics is the way to improve our future. We think youth opinions are important to future change. We can choose what future we want to live in if we care. YEP, we care!
