> We have the pleasure of sending you the call for papers for the upcoming international workshop Youth and Civic participation: Is a younger generation reshaping European politics? (15-17 May 2012, University of Antwerp).
>
> This academic workshop wants to investigate how a young generation of citizens tries to make sense of current social trends and problems. Whereas some researchers argue for the apparent civic disengagement of youth, others suggest that civic participation of young people is stable and that they may still be swayed for non-institutionalized forms of practicing politics.
>
> By preference, proposals summarize comparative research of different (European) countries and types of participation. The topics are centered around, but not limited to, the following themes:
>
> · Motives and values that inspire youth to engage
> · Behaviour and forms of civic participation
> · Context and skills that conditions youth civic participation
> · Impact and influence of youth civic participation on contemporary politics
>
> For more information on the programme, click here.
>
> The deadline for submitting your application is Sunday 6th of January 2013. Candidates should send in the completed submission form, accompanied by a short academic curriculum vitae and an outline of the proposed paper. The decision of the selection committee will be communicated by mid-February 2013 the latest.
>
> Selected participants will present their papers in a panel session (20 minutes in English). A selection of papers presented at the workshop will be considered for publication in a peer-reviewed book volume on the topic of the workshop.
>
> On our website you will find a full project description, as well as the application procedure and the online submission form.
>
> Thanking you in advance for your interest and for the wider dissemination of this information, we remain at your disposal for all further questions.
