This year's 14th edition of the Forum took place on 2鈥�3 November 2026 under the theme 鈥淩upture or Renewal? Democratic Security for Our Future鈥�. The event, which was organised by the Council of Europe, provided a space for discussions on the future of democracy, strengthening civic participation and the role of young people in building open and inclusive societies.
The participation of our students was linked to their involvement in the YOUROPE 鈥� Youth for Europe project, carried out under the Horizon Europe programme and led by Prof. Mariusz Granosik. The project combines research on young people with reflection on their participation, social inclusion and place within democratic processes.
Over the past year, under the supervision of Dr Anna Jarkiewicz, Oliwia Kuczy艅ska and Antonina 艁ukasik have been engaged in activities aimed at strengthening the voice of young people in decisions that affect them. Their work has focused on improving the quality of youth participation in school life and supporting young people's well-being.
We would like to offer our congratulations to Oliwia and Antonina and are delighted that the voices of our students are being heard on a European forum!
