Youth organizations working on participation and inclusion have sometimes limited results and they activities are not anymore attractive for young people and for the ones who have already attended once their initiatives. On the other side, youth democratic participation at EU level this is still underdeveloped since many youth are unaware of the power they could have to change society, while others are unable to “read” the reality and take part on it. Moreover, Youth work has less recognition than what it should have and in many countries youth organizations are not seen by the traditional political actors as key stakeholder in the the social and political arena.
