illimity's youth empowerment initiative, designed to help young people ride the wave of their potential towards a successful future.
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.
