OPIN - Platform for youth eParticipation in Europe

All-in-one digital participation toolbox for youth organisations or public administrations. (Test Server)

Participation on OPIN not possible from 2024 onwards

We have decided to close the participation section on OPIN. We sincerely thank all the dedicated advocates for youth political participation.

On OPIN.me, you can still find information about youth participation. Our collected experiences and tips will remain accessible to you.

We invite you to migrate to our free participation platform, adhocracy+. It offers the same functionalities as OPIN and is available in German, English, Dutch, Kyrgyz, and Russian.
