Evens Foundation: Focusing on Gen Z at Political Tech Summit in Berlin

Published on January 29, 2026
GPC members Evens Family Foundation recently played a leading role at the Political Tech Summit in Berlin, curating a dedicated Youth Track that explored how political power, trust, and participation are evolving in a rapidly changing digital landscape.
 
Against a backdrop of declining trust in traditional institutions, the Youth Track examined how younger generations are engaging with politics through new spaces, platforms, and relationships. A flagship session, “Trust Me: How Young Creators Became Power Brokers in Politics”, focused on the growing influence of creator led communities and what this shift means for democratic systems seeking to connect with Gen Z.
 
The programme highlighted the importance of taking youth culture, digital agency, and emerging forms of civic participation seriously, and reflected the Evens Family Foundation’s long-standing commitment to democracy and social cohesion in Europe.
