The concept of political participation has received considerable attention in various spheres of life in the last hundred years: in expert discussions, in the political and public arenas, and among young people, to name a few. This diversity of interest in political participation has contributed to the concept’s evolution over time, leading in some instances to different or even contradictory understandings of political participation by various actors. Efforts to clarify the concrete meaning conveyed by the concept of political participation sometimes see it combined with adjectives: youth political participation, meaningful political participation and many others. But such additions do not ensure a clearer understanding of the concept; rather, they increase its complexity. Thus, one must first clarify and define the relevant terms to enable coherent and understandable discussion of the different aspects of political participation, youth political participation and meaningful youth political participation.
