Although the levels of social and political participation show variety according to nation and the life context (Skocpol ve Fiorina, 1999) young people, women and ethnic minorities are specified as specific groups at risk of social and political disengagement. This paper consists of the findings of the focus groups comparing Turkish young people, Bulgarian Turks and Roma people. Participants' perceptions about young people's participation were examined as well as their understanding of citizenship, their sources of information, their personal and group experiences and proposals to promote inclusion and civic and political participation. The given opportunities and resources are seem to be major effects on the perceptions of participation.
