Embracing the Youth Perspective: Paving the Way for Smart Cities

Encouraging Youth Municipality Collaboration for Sustainable Urban Spaces

Empowering Youth to Create Smart Green Cities for a Sustainable Future

Establishing Youth-Led NGOs

OBJECTIVES

1. Encouraging Youth-Municipality Collaboration for Sustainable Urban Spaces

This objective aligns with both horizontal priorities by fostering collaboration between municipalities and young people in shaping environmentally friendly urban spaces. By actively involving youth in smart city initiatives, the project promotes innovation, creativity, and a sense of ownership in building sustainable futures. The initiative not only contributes to climate change mitigation but also empowers youth as responsible citizens, encouraging them to seek solutions to urban challenges.

2. Empowering Youth to Create Smart Green Cities for a Sustainable Future

This objective addresses both priorities by equipping youth with the knowledge and skills to develop sustainable urban environments. Through training on smart cities and their role in climate change prevention, young people will become proactive, responsible citizens who actively engage in shaping greener communities for future generations.

The project also focuses on fostering youth leadership by encouraging young people to establish and manage their own organizations. This will help them gain critical skills in entrepreneurship, networking, and organizational management, empowering them to achieve their goals and drive sustainable initiatives within their communities.
