Generation in motion: Érica Moreira on youth, Democracy & collective struggle

In this episode, of Vox Civica, activist and Kofi Annan NextGen Democracy Prize finalist Érica Moreira joins us for a powerful conversation on what it means to defend democracy in a time of rising polarization and far-right resurgence. From youth-led protests and digital campaigns to grassroots initiatives across Europe, Érica reflects on how young people are reshaping what democracy looks like in practice. We talk about her work with Pela Igualdade and Politics4Her, her experiences supporting asylum seekers in Portugal, France, and Italy, and the deeper questions of identity, inclusion, and political agency in today’s Europe. This is a timely and moving reflection on action, courage, and the collective struggle for a more just and equal future.
