Over the past year, we piloted Co-Creating Our City in two cities, Charlotte and Düsseldorf. Using a participatory research approach, young people aged 14 to 24, local politicians and administrators in both cities worked together to research needs and solutions for youth engagement for their cities.

Research, and indeed many cities, recognise the importance and enormous potential of involving young people in local governance. However, we often find a gap between what cities offer in terms of youth engagement and what young people need to meaningfully become engaged and have an impact.

A project from the heart, Co-Creating Our City brings together young people and city decision-makers to do research and co-produce new and effective solutions for youth engagement in cities and municipalities.

Having researched #Vote16 for 13 years, knowing the evidence and, crucially, meeting so many fantastic young people, I am very happy that #VotesAt16 will become reality across the UK! I hope that our research (@chuebner.bsky.social) has been useful to some. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The UK government proposes to lower the voting age to 16 #vote16 This is a landmark moment for all the young people (+ some older ones) who campaigned for this for years. It's been a privilege to work & do research with young people on #VotesAt16 in Scotland and Wales www.jrrt.org.uk/evidence-and...

Breaking news from the BBC: voting age to be lowered to 16 across UK by next general election

There's no way "over half of Gen Z want a dictator" - our new study gets more like 6% This is vital to get right - we're sowing generational division, giving fake momentum to the sense that young people are rejecting democracy + missing the real message theconversation.com/only-6-of-ge...

theconversation.com

Only 6% of gen Z actually favour dictatorship – not half, as some reports would have you believe

Gen Z don’t hate democracy, they have a problem with the way it is being delivered.

Unsere aktuelle Studie untersucht, wie junge Menschen die aktuelle Lage in 🇩🇪 vor der #BTW25 und Zukunftsperspektive des Landes bewerten. Das Ergebnis: Viele blicken eher kritisch auf beide Aspekte, doch im Vergleich zu älteren Generationen sind sie etwas weniger pessimistisch. #diesejungenLeute

Auf einmal sind "die" jungen Menschen nach der #BTW25 links (oder rechts) – doch so einfach ist es nicht. Sie sind heterogen, wie auch unsere Studie zeigt. Entscheidend für die Politik ist eine zielgruppengerechte Ansprache dort, wo sich die Menschen (online) aufhalten. Siehe #Linke #Reichinnek

The debate on #Vote16 is shifting from WHETHER to HOW. In this report for JRRT's UK Democray Fund @chuebner.bsky.social & I review evidence on good practices implementing #VotesAt16 to harness opportunities for civic engagement using evidence from @uoe-sps.bsky.social @dpart.bsky.social & others

With @eichhornjan.bsky.social I wrote about our data on the longer-term outcomes of the lowering of the voting age in Scotland in @cogitatiopag.bsky.social. With all things that were unique in Scotland in 2014/15, seven years after the start of #Vote16 16/17s still vote more often than 18+ year olds
