What matters to young people

The festival program focuses on useful knowledge, opportunities and active participation.

Green and digital transition

The aim is to inform young people and to incorporate good practices into their daily lives that will enhance the protection and sustainability of the environment, but at the same time they will be given tools and useful information that will guide them in the digital world.

Promoting opportunities for young people

Our goal is to inform young people about the opportunities that the European Union and its cooperating bodies can offer them. This action will be a good opportunity for young people to come into contact with local organizations and societal bodies that will be useful for their personal and professional development.

Integrating youth perspectives into Union policies

The Festival starts with an open youth debate on Friday, September 23, at the Kozani Municipal Library. Its results will be promoted as a report to European Union institutions.

Active and Responsible Citizens

Finally, the entire festival, which has been organized and coordinated by a large group of young people, is the best opportunity to promote our active and responsible participation as well as the dissemination of the value of European identity through formal and informal forms of peer learning.

Ideas from Kozani can reach Europe

The Festival will start with an open youth debate on Friday, September 23 at the Kozani Municipal Library. The results will be promoted as a report to European Union institutions.

The discussion gives young people an opportunity to bring their perspectives into European policy conversations.
