Vote at 16 Conference (Subsidised Rate)
The conference Vote@16 - Young People Young Voters – Supporting Active Citizenship is part of an EU ‘structured dialogue’ (formal conversation) process which brings together decision makers and young people throughout Europe to explore reducing the voting age for young people to 16 years.
This event will feed the viewpoint of Irish young people, youth workers and those who work with young people into the structured process on critical aspects relating to youth participation in institutional democracy (especially in elections) and youth participation in youth organisations.
It will explore what actions could increase youth participation at local, national and European elections. It will also address the issue of reducing the voting age for young people from 18 to 16 years.
