We talked about the biggest problems of young people in Europe and what worries us the most

Some of our thoughts:

“The main problem of young people in Europe is fake news, misinformation and deception on social networks. What worries me the most is the political abuse of social networks. I am concerned about the media owned by politicians and reporting falsely. I believe that politicians should not be the owners of the media.”

“I also think disinformation is a major problem. I am concerned about threats and blackmail on social media and I am concerned about the attacks on journalists, who are therefore unable to report credibly.”

“The main problem of young people in Europe is unemployment, but what worries me the most is global warming.”

“I think the biggest problem for young people in Europe is precarious forms of employment, because people in precarious work have no rights to holiday pay, paid sick leave or redundancy payments. Currently, I am most concerned about coronavirus disease.”

"In my opinion, the biggest problem for young people in Europe is poor housing conditions or very expensive rents. This makes it difficult for young people to move away from their parents. My concern is that housing prices after the covid-19 pandemic will be even more expensive.”

“The main problem for young people in Europe is the constant exposure to hate speech. What worries me most is how negative information affects our mental health.”

It is much more than that, it is the wider active action of all citizens in various public areas of society, for the general social benefit. The essence of active citizenship is that we have the opportunity to participate in decision-making or influence decisions made in a democratic social space, and in doing so we co-shape and influence public topics that affect different target groups. Active citizenship means co-creating society and public topics at the local, national and international levels. Consequently, we strengthen democratic action and ensure the inclusion of individuals in society. It is important that active citizenship is based on mutual respect, equality, respect for human rights and democratic values. Who is an active citizen?
