Local Democracy

The problem of democracy is felt both at national level, not least is the need to strengthen representative democracy by local authorities.
Often the lack of knowledge of democratic systems, the low interest in policies adopted at local level combined with a skepticism towards possible improvements of the social quality of life resulting from appropriate policies lead young people to move away from local politics.
The objectives of this project are therefore the enhancement of local democracy, encouraging the participation of young people, and the push towards participatory democracy from below through the active participation of community members, especially the younger ones.
