About

For sustainable urban policies, we aim to develop collaborations focused on improving participatory mechanisms for the involvement of young people, women, and disadvantaged individuals in local decision-making processes. The goal is to enhance participatory democracy by increasing youth and women's participation in the shrinking democratic space and to create a new avenue within the European Union framework.
