I'm interested in going but I think I might otherwise be in India at
the time though this is not yet confirmed. I still qualify as a young
person just 34.

> Democracy is played out in the political institutions of society,
> but also in the multiple arenas where people come together: formal
> and informal education, the work place, sport, culture, civil
> society and increasingly, in social media via the Internet.
> Democracy requires firm and unshakeable foundations, but must be
> transmitted and renewed from generation to generation.
> 
> 
> 
> Today, we witness among young people a rising abstention from 
> electoral participation and party politics, distrust in mainstream 
> media, and sometimes violent rejection of traditional embodiments
> of political power. In transition democracies, young people are at
> the forefront of movements of popular rejection of corruption and 
> electoral fraud, but are conversely marginalised in the process of 
> democratic consolidation. In times of economic crisis, young
> people are increasingly faced with exclusionary barriers in the
> “everyday arenas”. How to increase any democratic participation of
> youth through the labour market when employment opportunities
> decrease? Is education a real promise for prosperity and security,
> and is it a good vehicle for inclusion that extremely qualified
> generations now have less guarantee of access to the labour market,
> leading some to speak of a “lost generation”?
> 
> 
> 
> There is a disparity between young people’s aspirations on the one 
> hand and forms of engagement and the limited opportunities for 
> influence on the other hand. There is also a disparity between the 
> ideals of young people – such as social justice and equality – and
> the priorities of democratic decision-making. There is a mismatch
> between the long perspective youth desires to influence in order to
> shape their future and a pressure to focus on short-term
> obligations.
> 
> 
> 
> Nonetheless, potential for youth influence and participation in 
> democracy exists. Many young people are engaged at community and 
> grassroots levels and express strong civic ideals and commitment.
> A wide range of formal participation opportunities for youth exists
> – elected student representatives, local youth councils, youth 
> parliaments, youth branches of political parties etc, but their
> impact is relatively weak. It is crucial to enhance youth
> democratic involvement, not only in terms of participation
> (quantity) but also in terms of influence (quality). It would be
> important to identify cases where such structures are genuine
> vectors of democratic participation rather than an alibi, and to
> explore the conditions which make them successful. New ways of
> socialising and organising are being forged and pioneered by the
> young via on-line media and social networks, from a perspective
> which may challenge established models of democratic governance.
> Moreover, there are a number of successful political figures deeply
> engaged in the existing structures of representative democracy who
> try to improve the system “from within”.
> 
> 
> 
> All these perspectives should be explored in order for societies
> to mobilise the potential of youth as actors of positive change.
