Young Citizens’ Panel: Politics is Cool!

The Young Citizens’ Panel: “Politics is Cool!” project aim was to encourage Russian-speaking schoolchildren from Narva from the age 16 to 18 to be more active in social life and thus to participate more in the political process. The aim was to raise the issues of young people’s social and political participation and to find solutions to them with the help of young people themselves. The idea of the project is innovative, as it has so far used very little in Estonia the citizen’s panel.

During the project, various analyzes, reports and policy recommendations were selected.
