We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the "Toolkit for Young People - Shaping the Future of Your Town", a key deliverable from the "2030 Youth Vision" project! This toolkit is designed to empower young people like you—aged 16-30, especially from disadvantaged backgrounds—to take charge of your communities and shape a sustainable future.

What’s it all about?

This toolkit is your go-to resource for diving into democratic participation, strategic planning, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Whether you’re new to civic engagement or ready to lead change, it’s packed with practical tools, real-world examples (like Catadau and Lousada!), and step-by-step guides to help you co-create local policies. From understanding SDGs like Gender Equality (SDG 5) and Sustainable Cities (SDG 11) to designing your own Youth Participation Plan, this toolkit has you covered.

Why it matters

Young voices are the heartbeat of tomorrow. This toolkit doesn’t just talk about participation—it shows you how to make it happen. With inspiring case studies, video pills, and a fun quiz to test your skills, it’s your secret weapon to turn ideas into action.

Ready to get started?

Download the toolkit below and explore how you can shape your town for the better. Whether you’re joining a Local Lab, starting a project, or simply curious about SDGs, this is your chance to be part of the 2030 vision. Let’s build a future where youth lead the way—because nothing for youth should happen without youth!
