What does the youth think about democracy?
On March 8 Amanda Kanange & Michel Nentwig, of IFLRY, presented their perspectives on the current political situation in Sweden and in Germany, emphasizing the concerns and public preferences of young people.
What do young people think about democracy? How do they perceive this system and the previous generations that were involved in it? How is democratic participation lived in Germany and in Europe? What perspectives, suggestions and constructive criticism can be raised for Argentina and Latin America? We invite you to this meeting with a group of young Germans, in the first Naumann Chair meeting of the year, coordinated ty the management team of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom in Argentina.
