Young people in Europe and, by extension, the West, are increasingly disengaging from electoral politics. Academic studies are still trying to understand the phenomenon. But Kevin Meyvaert argues that without a moral narrative of justice and fairness, we will never succeed in reconnecting all citizens to democratic life
PhD Researcher, Vrije Universiteit Brussel and Horizon Europe REDIRECT project
Kevin holds a master’s degree in political science from the VUB and an advanced master in European politics and policies from KU Leuven.
His research interests primarily revolve around political participation and representative democracy.
Kevin's ongoing PhD research delves into the realm of the political engagement of first-time voters and young adults, with a particular focus on Brussels.
He is also interested in the role of young members of parliament and political parties in bridging the disconnect between youth and formal politics.
