Summary/Abstract: The present study examines the issue of European youth’s social involvement in relation to the same generation’s deep relationship with communication technology and furthermore, with the social network sites supported by this fast developing technology. It is a fact that young Europeans are show a profound lack of interest in civic and social issues; what we are trying to examine is whether communication technology and social network sites might be used as a tool for increasing young Europeans’ involvement in the “life of the city.”
