When discussing politics and the youth, three conclusions are often taken for granted.
First, that young people are insufficiently interested in politics. Second, that they are
increasingly disengaged from conventional politics. And third, that they have created new
spaces, through new forms and channels of participation, where they can express their views
and interests. Although new forms of youth political participation have been extensively
studied, their association with ideological self-understanding and attitudes towards minorities
is only partially understood. However, increased activism, although normatively desirable, may
be a double-edged sword if it is found disproportionally among youth with a questionable
commitment to democracy and tolerance. The main question this article will try to answer is
“Who is active among young people in Europe?” The analysis is based on the European Social
Survey (ESS) data round IX (2018). Focusing on the participatory practices of y...oung
Europeans, the chapter explores associations of ideological orientations and attitudes related to
minority groups and indicators of social context with different forms of political activism.
Respondents’ more positive attitudes about LGBT rights, as well as liberal attitudes towards
immigrants, are associated with greater participation in almost all forms of political
participation. Democratic political context matters as well. Young people in more
democratically developed countries relatively more often participate in campaigns, activities
of civic society organizations, are politically active online, and boycott products
