TUNE Network - Research on youth participation, inclusion & civic engagement 2025

The TUNE Network has officially launched its 2025 data collection phase, marking a crucial step in amplifying young people’s voices across Europe. Following the first round of capacity-building training, all 21 member organisations are now reaching out to local youth to gather insights on participation, inclusion, and civic engagement.

Using a structured survey designed collaboratively by the network, the research targets young people aged 18–30 in all partner countries. The goal is to identify challenges, motivations, and priorities that shape youth involvement in democratic life today. Topics include access to civic spaces, digital participation, discrimination, and what support young people need to become more active in their communities.

This data will directly inform policy recommendations and upcoming TUNE activities, ensuring a bottom-up approach where youth voices lead the way.

 

Are you 18-30? Are you interested in contributing to the future of youth-informed actions across europe? Fill the questionnaire you can find here.

 

Stay tuned as we gather input from hundreds of young people across Europe, because real change starts with listening.

General Assembly & Networking Event

The TUNE General Assembly and Networking Event, held on November 5-6, 2024, brought members together to review and finalize the network’s strategy, which was later approved by the EU as its guiding framework. The strategy outlines TUNE’s vision, governance, and priorities, focusing on youth work recognition, digital democracy, local projects, policymaker engagement, inclusion, and gender balance. Roundtable discussions and plenary debates shaped the final version, ensuring a collective and inclusive decision-making process.
