About
International conference (19 – 21 March 2025): Democracy and Youth in the Digital Age
Hosted during Luxembourg’s chairmanship of the council of Europe: Evolving technologies and political participation
The conference is organised by the University of Luxembourg in the framework of Luxembourg’s chairmanship of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe. This conference is part of Luxembourg’s commitment to promoting the core values of the Council of Europe – human rights, democracy, and the rule of law. It aims to develop concrete solutions to the challenges and opportunities of youth political participation in the digital age.
Exploring a critical aspect of democracy and youth engagement in the digital age
The advent of the digital age has fundamentally transformed the landscape of political participation, creating unprecedented opportunities and challenges, particularly for the younger generation. This international conference, “Democracy and Youth in the Digital Age: Evolving Technologies and Political Participation”, aims to explore the complex and dynamic relationship between young citizens and the digital political sphere.
In an era where social media platforms, online forums, and artificial intelligence increasingly shape political discourse and engagement, it is crucial to understand how these technologies influence young people’s political awareness, activism, and the formation of their political identities. This conference seeks to bridge the gap between cutting-edge academic research and practical, real-world applications by bringing together a diverse array of experts from various scientific fields, policymakers, activists, and educators.
