CUBE. Your take on Europe is a social project aiming to create an inclusive participation channel for young people in Europe. CUBE wants all young people in Europe to envisage the future they want to live in. CUBE prioritises in gathering diverse young opinions, taking into account all kinds of discriminatory experiences that young people have and on which grounds they are excluded from political processes. CUBE overcomes this structural exclusion by reaching out to schools, where, to a certain age, all young people come together. This approach is complemented by a possibility to extend our concept to youth centres.
CUBE facilitates this process in three steps: it provides a workshop toolkit to be facilitated in all context youth engages in, it gathers and analyses the results of those workshops and advocates for them at the EU institutions.
After two years of organising workshops, talking to young people, supporting them in creating political utopias and giving them the chance to defend their ideas against politicians, CUBE is proud to publish its first policy brief. Hereby we want to thank all participants, facilitators, teachers, officials and politicans, who conributed with their motivation and good…

CUBE’s Policy Brief on youth participation is available now!
After two years of organising workshops, talking to young people, supporting them in creating political utopias and giving them the chance to defend their ideas against politicians, CUBE is proud to publish its first policy brief. Hereby we want to thank all participants, facilitators, teachers, officials and politicans, who contributed with their motivation and good will to make this project successful and a basis for change. The multitude of creative ideas, demands and outcomes of fruitful discussions that we collected are combined, refined and presented in our policy brief.
While we believe youth’s central demands representation, consideration, education and digitalisation could be targeted in an integral effort to lower the voting age to 16 years and reap the benefits of an inclusive democracy, we see this report as a contribution to an ongoing debate.
Therefore, we invite everyone to join the debate and think about ways to engage young people in politics and give them the say in the future they deserve!
