The project aims to strengthen the youth sector in the field of health with a focus on practical objectives. The main goal is to improve the competences of youth workers equipped with knowledge about key aspects of youth health, including non-communicable diseases, mental health, and environmental policies. The objectives include understanding innovations in youth work, the latest developments in youth health, critical thinking about current policies, innovative solution design, and strengthening networking and communication skills. The project seeks to achieve a lasting impact by promoting positive changes in youth work practices, ultimately leading to better youth health at the local and global levels. The purpose of the event is to empower and improve the skills of youth workers by enhancing their capacities in areas such as health prevention and promotion among young people, research, networking, advocacy, campaigning, and policy development. The main objectives of the project are: -To develop the knowledge of youth workers on key health topics such as chronic non-communicable diseases, mental health, and environmental policies. -To promote innovative approaches in youth work aimed at improving youth health, including preventive measures. -To develop communication and networking skills among youth workers, enabling them to collaborate effectively with peers, professionals, and organizations. -To foster critical thinking about health trends, policies, and challenges, with an emphasis on raising awareness of the importance of a healthy lifestyle. -To develop advocacy skills among youth workers, allowing them to influence policy-making and improve conditions for youth health. -To ensure that the acquired knowledge and competences transform youth work practices by increasing quality, innovation, and the visibility of their impact on youth health. Through these objectives, we aim to contribute to lasting changes in youth workers’ approaches to health-related issues, foster innovation, and strengthen networking for long-term benefits for youth health. By organizing the forum, we aim to create a long-term hub for collaboration and innovation in the youth sector related to health. This hub will support and enhance participants’ international perspectives and global understanding of youth health issues, inspiring and motivating them to take action in promoting youth health in their local communities and among peers.
