On the 18th of July, Planact hosted their third Youth Engagement event focused on Youth Perspectives on Elections and Democratic participation. This event sought to create a platform for young people to engage in meaningful discussions on the importance of voting and active citizenship in strengthening democracy. With youth voter participation remaining a key concern, the event encouraged young people to recognise the role they can play in shaping the future of their communities through electoral participation and beyond.
The discussions also provided an opportunity for young people to share their perspectives on the issues that matter most to their communities and the priorities they would like elected representatives to address. Through dialogue and youth-led perspectives, the event highlighted the importance of empowering young people to participate meaningfully in democratic processes and to make their voices heard.
