Dear Network,

As you may have heard through Basecamp and the Yo!News, the European Commission launched an online survey a few weeks ago, which aims to explore the role of NGOs and networks in supporting youth participation in democratic life in the EU.

🔹 Carried out by Ecorys, the survey will help gather new evidence on how young people engage in decision making at European, national and local levels, and to better understand the value and contribution of EU funding. It will also examine the new trends in participation, including the role of online youth movements.

🔹 The survey is part of a wider European Commission initiative to inform the rollout of the European Youth Strategy 2019-2027, and in particular the objective of ‘Engaging’ with young people.

The survey is open to all youth NGOs and networks operating within Europe, and will run until 16/08/2018. Please select the link below to take part:
