Spotlight on: LoveYouthFuture at YO!Fest
Among the many stands, activities and events at YO!Fest this year (part of the European Youth Event, Strasbourg, 9-11 May) the European Youth Forum will be showcasing its LoveYouthFuture campaign.
LoveYouthFuture is the Youth Forum’s European elections campaign and aims to get MEP candidates to sign up to 11 pledges which will help ensure that the next European Parliament is the most youth-friendly ever. The campaign has seen great success so far, with more than 200 MEP candidates having signed up.
The LoveYouthFuture stand is going to urge the 5,000 young people attending the EYE and YO!Fest to "take action" to make the EU youth-friendly! The young people that drop by the stand can find out about the campaign and invite their own MEP to sign. There will be plenty of fun campaign “freebies”: balloons, posters, stickers so come by and check it out!
The LoveYouthFuture stand is one of many stands and activities which will take place around the YO!Village. Highlights include a Living Library of human “books” on discrimination, organised by the Council of Europe, circus performances, games and “YO!Shake” – a participatory dance performance. YO!Talks will see young people give interactive and thought-provoking talks and the programme is full of workshops and debates covering a wide variety of topics from “European values”, discrimination, entrepreneurship and volunteering through to EU politics, media training, youth work and climate change.
See you at YO!Fest!

How Lviv and its young people are changing the culture of education
In Lviv, the European Youth Capital 2025, learning has long gone beyond school desks and university lecture halls. It begins where curiosity meets courage: with the desire to explore, try, make mistakes, improve and create something new. It is precisely this vision of education that has shaped one of the key directions of the European Youth Capital 2025 programme, as well as the new Lviv youth strategy, which will guide the municipality’s work on youth in the years to come.
