Description: The studies in the present volume are based on the empirical data of a recently completed MYPLACE project (Memory, Youth, Political Legacy And Civic Engagement, FP7-SSH-2010-1, GA Number: 266831). According to the objective of the four-year-long project, completed with the participation of researchers from 14 countries, the research concept - 'how young people's social participation is shaped by the shadows (past, present and future) of totalitarianism and populism in Europe' - did not focus on the comparison of national political cultures and heritages based on different classifications but on the pan-European approach. The empirical methods adapted to the concept (surveys, qualitative interviews and ethnographic case studies) have contributed to the examination of the social participation of young people in a historical and cultural context, and to the learning of meanings attributed to related concepts.
