We’re excited to share the "Toolkit for Youth Workers - Working with Young People to Achieve the SDGs in Cities", a vital resource from the "2030 Youth Vision" project. Designed for youth workers, facilitators, and community leaders, this toolkit equips you with the strategies, tools, and inspiration to guide young people—especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds—toward active participation in shaping sustainable cities.

What’s inside?

This toolkit is your roadmap to fostering youth engagement in local decision-making and advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a focus on SDG 5 (Gender Equality), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities). From practical tips on overcoming participation barriers to real-world case studies like Lousada, Portugal, it offers step-by-step guidance, creative activities, and templates like the Youth Participation Plan (YPP) to make an impact.

Why it’s a game-changer
