YOUTH PARTICIPATION IN PUBLIC DECISION-MAKING AT REGIONAL AND LOCAL LEVEL
Journal Title: The Copernicus Journal of Political Studies - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
Insufficient participation of young people is a major problem occurring in the field of administrative law. This article is devoted to the analysis of national and international legal regulations in the field of youth participation in public life. The basic assumption of the analysis is that the youth has great potential, which is not used. Given the right opportunities and tools, young people are able to diversify and raise public discussion on the functioning of the city and the region. But the activity of young people in local and regional life depends on the commitment of local authorities to provide appropriate instruments to enable them to take action. If young people have the right tools and enjoy the appropriate conditions for getting involved, they are able to realize a number of innovative projects noticeable even abroad. At a time when young people have a sense of real possibility to change their immediate environment, they are getting even more involved in the public life of their region.
