Arte: Europe's youthquake – disillusioned with politics?

Across Europe, anger and protests are bringing a generation together. The grievances range from education to housing to jobs, but have one common theme: aspirations for a better future. It’s a principle that is increasingly coupled with a loss of faith in politics, and even in democracy as it stands today. Ongoing protests across the continent may have prompted political reactions and fresh promises, but will they lead to fundamental change?

This programme is produced by the European platform ARTE and available in 10 languages through the European media partnership BEAM. The hub is coordinated by ARTE and includes Balkan Insight (BIRN), Sinopsis (BIRN Romania), El País (ES), Gazeta Wyborcza (PL), Internazionale (IT), Ir, (LV), Kathimerini (GR), Le Soir (BE) and Telex (HU). The partnership receives EU-funding following DG CNECT’s call for European Media Hubs within the framework of the EU’s Multimedia Actions.
