OPIN - Platform for youth eParticipation in Europe

Ever wondered how to get young people involved in politics online?OPIN, a European toolbox for youth eParticipation projects, shows you how.

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.
