In March 2018, the Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS) joined forces with the Društvo Progresiva from Slovenia and the Karl Renner Institut from Austria, and organised a series of workshops and an international conference in order to facilitate wider debate on lowering the voting age, from the point of view of election participation and democratic legitimacy of such a decision for the political system. The “Call to Europe, Democracy Lab Slovenia: Vote 16” consisted of three events held in different parts of the country.
