The Safe Youth Space project addresses social isolation, mental health challenges, and reduced youth engagement in Poland, Greece, and Italy. It aims to provide safe and inclusive environments where young people can develop skills, confidence, and social belonging, while strengthening the capacities of youth workers and organizations.
The key objectives of the project include increasing youth worker competences, creating safe spaces for young people, strengthening youth councils and local partnerships, and fostering youth-led initiatives. Expected results include the establishment of Safe Youth Spaces, local trainings and workshops, internships, community gardens, study visits, and youth festivals, reaching thousands of young people and promoting democratic values and diversity.
The project connects existing initiatives, and introduces innovative, holistic approaches to youth empowerment, social cohesion, and sustainable community engagement.
