Pop-Up @MSC 2026 - Youth Participation and Democratic Futures

Hosted by HfP, TUM, and the MSC, this Pop-Up convenes actors from academia, civil society, education, media, and practice to explore new pathways for participation and inclusion of young people in the digital age. The session builds on existing initiatives and practical experience, and focuses on conditions for inclusive, scalable “democracy making”, grounded in safety and agency. Insights from the Pop-Up will also feed into ideas for further projects, such as a “House of Democracy”, a longer-term platform idea that aims to connect and strengthen ongoing work across partners.
