Throughout our daily work with young people, we identified an urgent need to respond to constantly changing everyday and social challenges. The young people we worked with—marked by profound digital accessibility—faced complex realities that demanded renewed, innovative, inclusive, and, above all, appealing educational and social responses for this age group. In this context, we understood that, while young people had the means and knowledge to use digital resources for their social and civic engagement, there was still a weak link between them and decision-making spaces. The speed with which young people accessed information, often without filtering or verification, exacerbated phenomena of alienation, opposition, or distrust of governance models. This reality translated into a progressive distancing of young people from the decision-making processes that affect their lives and compromise their collective future. It was precisely in this context that we outlined the Let's Talk About Youth Goals (LTAYG) project. The idea was clear: to intervene directly with young people, using the European Youth Goals as a starting point. Based on these objectives, we wanted to connect, engage, and empower young people for more active social and civic participation, while creating safe and inclusive spaces for information, empowerment, and critical expression. We believed that only through non-formal and alternative approaches would it be possible to mobilize young people to develop forms of activism anchored in contemporary challenges. The entire project cycle was therefore designed to create real opportunities for debate, sharing, and action. Each event—physical, digital, or hybrid—served as a space for active listening, where young people were called upon to reflect on their contexts, identify social problems, and, above all, think critically about their own solutions. The pedagogical intent was always present: we wanted to develop autonomy, critical awareness, and a sense of belonging among the young participants. Based on this vision, we defined the following objectives, which guided all phases of the project: 1) General Objective: To promote the inclusion and social participation of young people through the creation of alternative and non-formal opportunities for social and civic engagement. 2) Specific Objectives: -Promote social and civic participation spaces that are appropriate for young people, inclusive, and accessible; -Promote the development of key skills for lifelong learning; -Promote the involvement, connection, and empowerment of young people, reinforcing their sense of community belonging and activating their participation; -Promote the creation of bridges between young people and decision-makers; -Promote greater knowledge of youth strategies and priorities and better information on opportunities for interpersonal development; -Promote greater awareness of European social values. These objectives directly responded to the needs identified in our work with young people - the lack of safe spaces for expression, the absence of opportunities for critical and constructive debate, the difficulty of accessing opportunities for participation with political decision-makers, and the poor understanding of the social and community role of youth. At the same time, the project also responded to needs felt by our organization and others we worked with—the need to encourage young people to get involved in local social and political dynamics and the urgency of designing initiatives with a real transformative impact on young people's lives. Ultimately, we wanted to prove that young people are not just recipients of public policies, but also producers of meaning and co-creators of solutions to the challenges of the present and the future. The LTAYG project thus represented a commitment to active participation, informed citizenship, and building bridges between generations and spheres of decision-making.
