What is the underlying cause of young people’s disengagement in institutional politics 2016 http://ezaposleni.singidunum.ac.rs/rest/sciNaucniRezultati/oai/record/1/9746 https://futurelabeurope.wordpress.com/2016/03/29/news-29-03-16/ D. Martinov Widespread lack of trust in national governments and European institutions, the rise of Euroscepticism as well as low levels of participation in European and national democratic processes are three of the most prominent challenges to democracy on the European continent. The EU, national governments and citizens themselves must take action, addressing the root causes of European societies’ disengagement in democratic processes. Concerned about these developments, FutureLab Europe’s fifth generation wrote a Manifesto calling for concrete measures to address the root causes of these European malaises by bridging the gap between citizens and decision makers. These are the steps that we consider necessary for such a major rethink, in which the EU will play a central role: Foster a truly European political culture Leverage technology for a genuine European participatory democracy Develop and scale-up instruments of direct democracy Combat corruption and fight for transparency to restore trust in the institutions Encourage EU member states to invest in education to promote informed participation. FutureLab Europe’s fifth generation presented its manifesto and Spring Publication, including input from social media, to high level EU policy makers in Brussels on April 22, 2016. conferenceObject REVIVING DEMOCRACY FOR A CITIZENS-LED EUROPE: FutureLab Europe Manifesto - 2016
