Media and Information Literacy (MIL) is key to informed participation in democracy. Through CitiDem, citizens engage in deliberative assemblies, using critical thinking and digital literacy to discuss information, tackle misinformation, and shape policies.

Between 2009 and 2019, youth voter turnout in EU elections climbed steadily - up 13 percentage points. But in 2024, the trend reversed.
64 % of young people intended to vote. Only 36% actually did - a 6% drop from 2019.
The visuals speak volumes: awareness is growing, but participation is slipping.

💬 Did you know?
In many EU countries, less than 30% of young people engage in formal political activities like voting or joining parties, but over 60% participate in protests or online activism.
