🌍 12 August | International Youth Day

Young people are not only the leaders of tomorrow — they are shaping change today.

Reaching the Sustainable Development Goals requires more than knowledge. It also requires the skills to communicate ideas, work with others, understand different perspectives, question misinformation and turn concerns into action.

Through YouthSOFTPOWER, young people strengthen key soft skills such as:
🗣️ Communication
🤝 Teamwork
💛 Empathy
🔎 Critical thinking
✨ Leadership

These skills help young people participate more actively, advocate for fairer communities and contribute to a more inclusive and sustainable future.

💬 Which skill will you use to create positive change?

Choose one and put it into action this week.

Democracy Matters to Gen Z 🗳️

Ukraine’s young generation has a deep commitment to democratic values and civic rights. They highly value living in a democracy and having a say in decision-making – even as they push for improvements in how that democracy functions. ✊📢✨

Over 91% of Ukrainian youth say that living in a democratic country is important to them. ✅🇺🇦

Likewise, 84.4% agree that citizens should have the right to influence national and local decisions. 🏛️🤝

This strong pro-democracy stance comes despite low satisfaction with the status quo – only about 27% are satisfied with the current state of democracy in Ukraine, indicating youth want a better functioning democracy. 📉➡️📈🔧

Youth Back European Future 🇺🇦🇪🇺✨

Ukrainian youth overwhelmingly support European integration and values — they see their future aligned with Europe and view EU membership as a pathway to peace, democracy, and new opportunities 🕊️🗳️🌍

📊An impressive 83% of young Ukrainians support Ukraine joining the European Union 📈🇪🇺. This near-consensus shows how strongly the youth aspire to a European future — reflecting core European values of democracy, freedom, and cooperation ✨🕊️🤝
(For context, youth support remains extremely high, only slightly down from 84% the year before.) ✅

Mission accomplished in Patras! 🇬🇷 YouthSOFTPOWER is gaining momentum ✨

After two intensive days of collaborative work (9 and 10 June), the consortium has succeeded in turning ideas into real tools for social change.

What have we achieved? 🚀
Youth Advocacy Guide: We agreed on the multilingual structure of this key tool for youth leadership.
SDG Digital Toolkit: We validated the tools for sustainability campaigns and European values.
E-learning Platform: We designed the four interactive modules (ODA, SDGs, European Values and Advocacy) that will bring our learning space to life.
Multimedia Content: We planned podcasts, vlogs and webinars that will give a voice to young activists across Europe.
Local Innovation: We visited Coffee Island to learn about real-world models of sustainability and social responsibility.

Next steps 🚩
Translation: We will adapt all resources to our partners’ local languages.
Production: We will bring the planned multimedia content to life.
Launch: We will finalise the technical development of the educational platform.
Heading to Finland: We are starting preparations for the big International Bootcamp in 2027!

None of this would have been possible without Liofyllo. Their warm hospitality and Concept Store provided the perfect inspiring setting for us to achieve our goals.

We continue to connect talent for a more participatory Europe! 🇪🇺💪
