Voices for Tomorrow

Associazione Spazio Etneo is proud to have been part of the Erasmus+ Youth Exchange “Voices for Tomorrow”, which took place from 22 to 28 June 2026 in Ankara, Turkey 🇹🇷. The project was coordinated by Hatay Foundation and brought together young people from Italy, Turkey, Croatia, Greece, Spain and Lithuania to explore how young people can develop the skills, ideas and confidence to actively contribute to the future of their communities and Europe.

💻 In a world increasingly shaped by new technologies, environmental challenges and social inequalities, the project gave participants the chance to reflect on their role as active citizens and future leaders. Through a wide range of activities, they explored topics such as leadership, entrepreneurship, digital sustainability, environmental technologies, social inclusion and European opportunities.

🌍 Young people from six European countries came together to share experiences, perspectives and ideas around sustainability, inclusion, leadership and active participation. The international environment created plenty of opportunities for discussion, teamwork and learning from each other, while encouraging participants to look at social and environmental challenges from different perspectives.

🇮🇹 The Italian group from Spazio Etneo (Chiara, Angela, Marika, Bruno, Dario, Valentina, Salma, Aurelio, Francesco and Nicolò) took part with great enthusiasm and a strong team spirit, actively contributing to discussions, workshops, creative activities and intercultural events. During the week, they strengthened their teamwork, communication, leadership and creative skills, while sharing ideas, making new connections and discovering more about European opportunities.

🎨 The activities were based on non-formal education methodologies, combining interactive workshops, group work, creative activities, competitions, cultural visits and intercultural learning. Participants worked on ideas for sustainable digital solutions, explored how technology can support environmental protection, developed business ideas and discussed ways to promote greater inclusion for disadvantaged groups. The programme also included sessions on Youthpass, helping participants recognise their learning outcomes and discover useful opportunities within the European context.
