5. Participation

Last update: 24 March 2025

Awareness raising, overall participation of young people in public life and encouraging their activity in the decision-making processes are a priority of the Republic of Bulgaria Governance Program (2025-2029) (Програма за управление на Република България за периода 2025-2029). These processes take place with the active collaboration between local and central authorities. Municipal youth councils and children parliaments have been established in many of the municipalities on the territory of the country as subsidiary and consultative bodies to the local authorities in the field of youth policy. Thus, the opinions of the young people are considered with encouragement of the general climate of public dialogue, critical thinking and active contribution by using the instruments, means and capacities provided by the representative democracy and the democracy of the participation at all public levels.
