Generation Future: young people at the center of change​

How can we involve young people and make them feel part of collective decisions?​

The new generations, with their ambitions and demands, show an increasing desire to actively participate in political and collective decisions, with a focus on the crucial issue of sustainability. ​

Often wrongly portrayed as disillusioned, young people are, on the contrary, true pioneers of change, ready to face challenges like daring surfers facing the highest waves.​​

To engage young people and stimulate their empowerment, it is crucial to create spaces and opportunities that value their voices and opinions. The first step is to recognise their crucial role as active and responsible citizens.​​

On the 12th of December, at TheWaveProgram, with Alberta Pelino, founder and president of YAS, and Andrea Gori, Chief Earth Officer of illuminem.com, we will talk about youth, sustainability and future.

An open dialogue to explore concrete strategies to involve young people, by making them feel an integral part of society. It will be an opportunity to discuss issues that are close to the heart of the new generations and to highlight how young people can contribute significantly to creating solutions and to the progress of our country.​
