The European Union is a very complex political structure unifying a large range of cultures. Few citizens are sharing exclusively a European identity, even though European citizens enjoy largely the benefits of the Union (common currency, freedom of movement, peace…). Such diversities justify the various studies held on social and political values of the European citizens, especially among young people. From 2009 to 2012, the “Processes Influencing Democratic Ownership and Participation” project (PIDOP) measured the “different forms and interpretations of democratic ownership and participation […] among citizens living in different European countries and contexts.” Datasets were especially created to be representative of women, immigrants and youth populations in 8 European countries. We would like to revisit those data and bring another light to civic and political involvements of European young people according to various social and political values. Do young people share the same trends of participation in Europe?
