The You’th in Charge 2.0 project aims to empower young people from rural and peripheral areas in Belgium and Italy, fostering active citizenship, leadership, and youth-led initiatives. Building on the previous edition, this follow-up project seeks to equip young participants with skills and tools to drive cultural and social change in their communities. The objectives include enhancing youth participation in decision-making, strengthening soft and hard skills through experiential learning, and creating sustainable community-led projects. The project also promotes inclusion and diversity, ensuring young people with fewer opportunities can actively engage in structured youth initiatives while reinforcing their sense of agency and civic engagement.
