About Get Political 

The Get Political project empowers young people to enhance their political literacy, engage in democratic processes, and foster active participation in local, national, and European political frameworks.

The Get Political project addresses the increasing disengagement of youth from political participation across Europe. With a focus on young people aged 15-30, the project aims to tackle barriers to political engagement by providing them with the tools and knowledge to navigate political systems effectively. By creating educational resources, training youth workers and educators, and facilitating active participation through direct engagement with political institutions, the project ensures that young individuals are equipped to influence and contribute to the political landscape. Through its wide-reaching activities, it aims to increase political knowledge and literacy, mitigate democratic disenchantment, and promote youth-led advocacy for political engagement.
